	abstract = {Large swings in the demand for content are commonplace within the Internet. Although Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) are fairly flexible in handling varieties of traffic loads, their performance considerably degrades by hotspot traffic, especially at increasing size networks. As alleviation to the tree saturation problem, the prioritizing of packets is proposed leading to a scheme that natively supports multi priority traffic. In this paper the performance evaluation of double-buffered Delta Networks under single hotspot setups, with different offered loads, and 2-class routing traffic is presented and analyzed using simulation experiments. Performance comparison of dual vs. single priority scheme is outlined under hotspot environment, by calculating a universal performance factor, which effectively includes the importance aspect of each of the two most important performance metrics, namely packet throughput and delay. The findings of this paper can be used by MIN designers to optimally configure their networks. Β{\textcopyright} 2009 IEEE.},

	abstract = {In this paper the performance of asymmetric-sized finite-buffered Delta Networks with 2-class routing traffic is presented and analyzed in the uniform traffic conditions under various loads using simulations. We compare the performance of 2-class priority mechanism against the single priority one, by gathering metrics for the two most important network performance factors, namely packet throughput and delay. We also introduce and calculate a universal performance factor, which includes the importance aspect of each of the above main performance factors. We found that the use of asymmetric-sized buffered systems leads to better exploitation of network capacity, while the increments in delays can be tolerated. The goal of this paper is to help network designers in performance prediction before actual network implementation and in understanding the impact of each parameter factor.
