In the pipeline banyan (PB), the reservation cycle in the control plane is made several times faster than payload transmission in data plane. This enables pipelining multiple banyans. It is observed that the ratio of throughput to switching delay (service rate) is relatively low in the PB due to the banyan. For this, we present a scalable pipelined asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch architecture employing a family of dilated banyan (DB) networks together with their complexity analysis and performance. A DB can be engineered between two extremes: 1) a low-cost banyan with internal and external conflicts, or 2) a highcost conflict-free fully connected network with multiple outlets. Between the two extremes lies a family of DB's having different switching delays and throughputs. Increasing the dilation degree reduces path conflicts, which produces noticeable increase in service rate due to increase in throughput and decrease in path delay. Compared to PB, the pipelined dilated banyan (PDB) requires smaller number of data planes for the same throughput, or provides higher throughput for a given number of data planes. Simulation of PDB is carried out under uniform traffic and simulated ATM traffic. We study the switch performance while varying the load, buffer size, and number of data planes. To analyze the robustness of the switch, we show that performance is not degradable under ATM traffic with temporal and spatial burstiness generated using the ON-OFF model. The PDB is scalable with respect to service rate and can be engineered with respect to: 1) cell loss rate; 2) hardware resources; 3) size of buffers; 4) switching delays; and 5) delay incurred to higher priority traffic. The PDB can deliver up to 3.5 times the service rate of the PB with only linear increase in hardware cost.
