Abstract

In this paper we present a scalable approximate model for packet loss analysis in load-balancing Birkhof-von Neumann switch with finite buffers and variable length packets assumption. We also present a numerical method to solve the model for large switches (up to the size ~30) equipped with large buffers (up to the buffer size ~1000). With regards to previously introduced models the main contribution of our model is its scalability in terms of the switch size as its computational complexity is linear with the number of ports. Contrary to previous models we assumed homogeneous input processes in this paper.
