Realization of large capacity ATM switches.

Large-capacity ATM switches, with switching capacity in excess of 40 Gb/s or 100 Gb/s, are becoming an essential part of network growth. To realize such switches requires technology know-how as well as implementation trade-off considerations. This article provides a system-level exploration of large...
