A new analytical model for the dual-banyan ATM switch throughput calculation

Dual-banyan is a buffered banyan asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch encompassing multiple input-queueing (bifurcated queueing) as its buffering strategy. This paper describes a new analytical model for a throughput evaluation of the dual-banyan switch under different traffic patterns. the model developed and presented enables the computation of buffer state probability and the switch normalized throughput by iterative calculations. The efficiency of the given model is verified through a comparison with simulation results.
