Compression mechanism for multi-service switching networks with BPP traffic

The paper proposes a compression mechanism for multi-stage switching networks with multi-rate BPP (Binomial-Poisson-Pascal) traffic streams. The effectiveness of the proposed mechanism is compared to previously studied Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanisms for multi-rate switching networks, i.e. bandwidth reservation mechanism and threshold mechanism. The paper investigates by means of simulation method the influence of the CAC mechanisms on the key performance indicators of multi-service switching networks.
