Design, Performance Evaluation and Implementation of New Network Architectures for High Speed Optical LANs: Tree Networks with Collision Avoidance

苏达教授将调查一个新的类的地方 使用冲突避免交换机的网络架构。 交换机允许实现随机接入协议 而没有分组之间冲突的代价。 它们将联合收割机 随机接入的好处（即，当业务量较小时，延迟较低; 简单的分布式，因此是健壮的协议）， 良好的网络利用率和传输并发性。 在这个研究项目中，首席研究员将 研究（1）台站协议的几种变化， 交换机体系结构，（2）设计和原型实现 使用光子器件的交换机，以及（3）性能（例如，延迟 和吞吐量）的网络架构， 模拟

Professor Suda will investigate a new class of local area network architectures that use collision avoidance switches. The switches allow the implementation of random access protocols without the penalty of collision among packet. They combine the benefits of random access (i.e. low delay when traffic is light; simple distributed, and therefore robust protocols) with excellent network utilization and concurrency of transmission. In this research project, the principal investigator will investigate (1) several variations for station protocols and switch architectures, (2) design and prototype implementation of a switch using photonic devices, and (3) performance (e.g. delay and throughput) of the network architectures through analysis and simulations.
