Optimized Scalable Packet Buffer Architecture for High-Bandwidth Switches and Routers

Problem Definition

Problem Description: The current packet buffer architecture for high-speed routers is facing challenges in terms of scalability and efficiency. There is a need to minimize the overhead of individual packet buffers while designing a scalable packet buffer using independent buffer subsystems. This necessitates the development of a new packet-buffer architecture that can effectively reduce SRAM size and optimize overall system performance through load balancing algorithms. Additionally, the architecture should be able to support multiple queues and ensure large capacity with short response time. The proposed distributed packet buffer architecture aims to address these challenges by providing scalability and efficiency to fulfill the buffering needs of high-bandwidth links while supporting multiple queues effectively.

Proposed Work

The proposed work aims to address the need for efficient packet buffers in high-bandwidth switches and routers by introducing a new distributed packet-buffer architecture. This architecture is designed to be scalable and efficient, providing large capacity and short response times. The main challenges in designing this architecture include minimizing the overhead of individual packet buffers and creating a scalable system using independent buffer subsystems. To overcome these challenges, an efficient compact buffer design is proposed to reduce SRAM size, and a load balancing algorithm is introduced to coordinate multiple subsystems and maximize overall system performance. Compared to conventional techniques, the proposed distributed packet buffer architecture is able to meet the buffering needs of high-bandwidth links while supporting multiple queues, making it a more efficient and scalable solution in the realm of parallel and distributed systems within the JAVA Based Projects category.
