TrueWay: A Highly Scalable Multi-Plane Multi-Stage Buffered Packet Switch

Overview To keep pace with Internet traffic growth, researchers have been continually exploring new switch architectures with new electronic and optical device technologies to design a packet switch that is cost-effective and scalable to a very large capacity, e.g., a few hundred Tera bps or even a few Peta bps. A new packet switch family, called Birkhoff-von-Neumann two stage load balancing switch, has been proposed and received much attention. This family of switches do not require a centralized packet scheduler and thus is highly scalable. The challenging part is to maintain packets' sequences. Another alternative to scale the switch is to use the multi-plane multi-stage buffered architecture. For instance, Cisco's CRS-1 system based on Benes network can scale up to 92 Tbps.
