SUMMARYHere a novel analytical method for performance prediction estimation of single-and multi-layer multistage interconnection networks (MINs) under multicast environments is presented. The 'Cell Replication While Routing' is used as a packet routing technique and the 'full multicast' mode as transmission policy is employed in all the MINs under study. This model is developed for single-layer MINs and is extended and applied to special types of multi-layer MINs, called semi-layer MINs, which support mixed traffic patterns such as unicast and multicast in uniform traffic conditions. The results confirm the significant performance saturation of single-layer MINs and the improvement of corresponding performance indicators by semilayer MINs. The proposed analytical framework is anticipated to be a very useful tool in evaluating the performance of semi-layer MINs in designing more efficient QoS networks.

“…Finally, for w = 0.5, the saturation is avoided only up to very small offered loads ( p<0.1), such as Tutsch's Model reported in Figure 8 of [14], with a slightly different assumption. According to Tutsch's Model approach, all possible combinations of destination addresses for each packet entering the network were equally distributed.…”

“…During the set-up some rules emerged for building such a system. The same authors [8] made a comparison among MINs that consisted of switches employing various buffer sizes when they service multicast traffic. In addition, Tutsch et al [9] present another study concerning the performance evaluation of MINs in the case of a cut-through forwarding method involving multicast traffic.…”

SUMMARYMultilayer multistage interconnection networks (MLMINs) integrate communication with network components and the components of parallel systems, especially when they service multicast traffic. This paper presents an approximate performance methodology for self-routing MLMINs that consist of two segments, each of which is composed of symmetrical switch elements. The first segment is subject to blocking situations with one mode of packet transmission policy (unicast). The second segment-the multilayer-is blocking free and employs double modes of transmission policy (unicast and multicast replication). Applying the current analytical model, which is based on a convergence method on the above types of MLMINs, an estimate can be made of their performance indicators. This model was applied to variable network size MLMINs under different multicasting patterns of traffic. It was also validated by extensive simulations. All the MLMINs under study apply special packet (traffic) management techniques, which allow for the integration of sub-networking into larger networks such as grids. The results are accurate and useful for network engineering, especially in the service of local area networks.
