On the Speedup Required for a Multicast Parallel Packet Switch
Overview A parallel packet switch (PPS) is a switch in which the memories run slower than the line rate. Arriving packets are load-balanced packet-by-packet over multiple lower speed center stage packet switches. It is known that, for unicast traffic, a PPS can precisely emulate a FCFS output-queued (OQ) switch with a speedup of two and an OQ switch with delay guarantees with a speedup of three. This paper asks about the possibility for a PPS to emulate the behavior of an OQ multicast switch.
