In this paper, we propose a new switching network architecture with output queueing, The proposed switch, FBSF (FAB Banyan Switching Fabrics) can deliver up to 2r packets simultaneously destined for the same outlet in a single time slot. The switch fabrics consist of Batcher sorter, a radix-r double shuffle network r-packet distributors, two FAB networks, and output buffer modules. The performance of the switch fabric is evaluated by measures of throughput, average queue length, average waiting time, and packet loss rate. Numerical and simulation results indicate that the switch exhibits very good delay-throughput performance over a wide range of input traffic.

The QoS(Quality of Service) guarantee mechanism is one of critical issues in the wireless network. Real-time applications like VoIP(Voice over IP) in All-IP networks need smooth handoffs in order to minimize or eliminate datagram loss as a Mobile Host(MH) transitions between network links. In this paper, we design a new DB(Dynamic Buffering) mechanism for IPv6 by which an MH can request that the router on its current subnet buffers packets on its behalf while the MH completes registration procedures with the router of a new subnet. Performance results show that our proposed buffering scheme with a dynamic buffer space allocation is quite appropriate for mobile Internet, or the All-IP environment in terms of the datagram loss rate and average waiting time.
