Analysis and Prediction of Blocking Probability in a Banyan Based ATM Switch

Abstract

Banyan network plays an important role in today's broadband technology. One of the problem faced in the banyan network is the loss of packets and blocking probability. To address this problem, the concept of increasing the queue size to one is applied. The simulation is carried out for both cases i.e for normal queue size and increased queue size. The output obtained is used for plotting graph in MS-Excel. With the obtained graphs, the performance of the network for both cases and a report is prepared. This analysis provides a valuable analysis for network designers and operators in terms of network performance. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
