Abstract

In this paper, a semi-layer multistage delta network is presented and exemplified considering various values of buffer size by using simulation. The proposed network configurations are evaluated and compared with each other. A performance evaluation was conducted via our simulator assuming uniform conditions and arrivals of Bernoulli type. Performance statistics were collected for the two most important performance indicators of the network that is throughput and packet latency. From this study emerges the appropriate configuration of single and semi-layer delta networks in terms of buffer size. The evaluation methodology can be applied to several network configurations, providing the basis for a fair comparison, and the necessary data for network engineering to optimize the performance of semi-layer delta networks.
