Abstract
Input-buffered asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) packet switches are simpler than output-buffered switches. However, due to HOL blocking, their through put is poor. Neural schedulers represent a promising solution for high thro ughput input-buffered switching, but their response time variance is too hi gh for realistic hard real-time constraints. To overcome this problem, in t his paper we formulate and evaluate a new neural scheduler with bounded res ponse time.
