Routers have to be fast enough to keep pace with increasing traffic data rate because of the increasing need for network bandwidth and processing. The switch fabric component of a router is a combination of hardware and software which moves the incoming packets to the outgoing ports. The access of the input ports to the switch fabric is controlled by a scheduler which affects the overall performance together with the fabric design. In this thesis we investigate two switch fabric and scheduler architectures, the well-known iSlip fabric scheduler and the Byte-Focal switch. We observe that these two architectures have different behaviors under different input traffic load ranges. The novel contribution of this thesis is a combined switch architecture which is composed of these two architectures that are implemented and run in parallel to selectively forward the packets with lower delay to the outputs to achieve an overall lower average delay. The design of the combined switch is carried out on FPGA and simulated. Our results show that the combined architecture has 100% throughput and a lower average delay compared to the Byte-Focal switch and the input-queued switch with iSlip. On the other hand, our combined switch uses more resources in FPGA than individual iSlip and Byte-Focal switch.

A new approach for the scalable intrusion detection in high-speed networks
Şahin, Ümit Burak; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
As the networks become faster and faster, the emerging requirement is to improve the performance of the Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) to keep up with the increased network throughput. In high speed networks, it is very difficult for the IDPS to process all the packets. Since the throughput of IDPS is not improved as fast as the throughput of the switches and routers, it is necessary to develop new detection techniques other than traditional techniques. In this thesis we propose a rule-ba...
A simulation study of scheduling algorithms for packet switching networks
Babur, Özgür; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
A scheduling algorithm has the primary role in implementing the quality of service guaranteed to each flow by managing buffer space and selecting which packet to send next with a fair share of network. In this thesis, some scheduling algorithms for packet switching networks are studied. For evaluating their delay, jitter and throughput performances, a discrete event simulator has been developed. It has been seen that fair scheduling provides, fair allocation of bandwidth, lower delay for sources using less ...
Software implementations of QoS scheduling algorithms for high speed networks /
Pehlivanlı, Aydın; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
The end to end Quality of Service (QoS) support for the dominating multimedia traffic in the contemporary computer networks is achieved by implementing schedulers in the routers and deploying traffic shapers. To this end, realistic modeling and simulation of these components is essential for network performance evaluation. The first contribution of this thesis is the design and implementation of a C++ simulator QueST (Quality of Service simulaTor) for this task. QueST is a modular cycle accurate simulator w...
A new scalable service discipline for real-time traffic: The framed-deadline scheduler
Schmidt, Şenan Ece (Elsevier BV, 2007-03-26)
Qulaity of Service (Qos) support in a scalable and low-complexity fashion is important in high-speed networks carrying real-time traffic. There are service disciplines that can provide end-to-end bandwidth and delay guarantees. However, they are designed to operate with expensive output quenching switches or with combined input-output queuing (CIOQ) switches that require very complicated fabric work with a CIOQ packet switch to provide the same end-to-end QoS guarantees as service disciplines that only work...
Parallel and pipelined architectures for high speed ip packet forwarding
Erdem, Oğuzhan; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
A substantial increase in the number of internet users and the traffic volume bring new challenges for network router design. The current routers need to support higher link data rates and large number of line cards to accommodate the growth of the internet traffic, which necessitate an increase in physical space, power and memory use. Packet forwarding, which is one of the major tasks of a router, has been a performance bottleneck in internet infrastructure. In general, most of the packet forwarding algori...
