- Title: A Packet Switch to Serve One Million Households
- Presenter: Dr Sandy Fraser, Founder, Fraser Research
- Abstract: A topdown study of a network for 100 million households suggests a much
simpler network topology than is presently evolving for the Internet.
Just as Federal Express discovered that computer networks and air
transport enable a more efficient centralized architecture for package
delivery, so it is apparent that fiber and the practicality of very high
capacity switches point the way to a more efficient communications
infrastructure. The question until now has been whether switches of
sufficient capacity can be constructed. This talk seeks to show that
indeed they can.
Clos and Benes developed the principles which enabled large telephone
switches to be made from many small switches. In recent years the study
of large packet switches has found inspiration in the work of Clos and
Benes even though their analytic results do not apply in a packet
switched world. The problem is that bad traffic patterns cause points
of severe congestion and it is hard to manage large and diverse traffic
flows without triggering significant side-effects, like loss of proper
sequence in the delivered data.
Quite by accident an organizing principle for large switching networks
has been found. Simulation results confirm the possibilities. In this
talk the underlying principle will be explained and there will be
discussion of simulation results for a machine to serve 256,000 homes.
Simple calculations lead to the belief that switches with capacity in
excess of 1 Pb/sec are practical.
