	abstract = {In this paper, the modelling, analysis and performance evaluation of a novel architecture for internal priority finite-buffered Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) is presented. We model the proposed architecture giving the details of its operation and describing its states and detailing conditions and effects of state transition; we also provide a formal model for evaluating its performance. The proposed architecture{\textquoteright}s performance is subsequently analyzed under the uniform traffic condition, considering various offered loads, buffer-lengths and MIN sizes, using simulations. We compare the internal priority scheme vs. the non priority (or single priority) scheme, by gathering metrics for the two most important network performance factors, namely packet throughput and the mean time a packet needs to traverse the network. We demonstrate and quantify the improvements on MIN performance stemming from the introduction of priorities in terms of throughput and a combined performance indicator which depicts the overall performance of the MIN. These performance measures can be valuable assets for designers of parallel multiprocessor systems and networks in order to minimize the overall deployment costs and delivering efficient systems.},

	abstract = {Multilayer MINs have emerged mainly due to the increased need for routing capacity in the presence of multicast and broadcast traffic, their performance prediction and evaluation however has not been studied sufficiently insofar. In this paper, we use simulation to evaluate the performance of multilayer MINs with switching elements of different buffer sizes and under different offered loads. 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 modeling of Omega Networks supporting multi-class routing traffic is presented and their performance is analyzed. We compare the performance of multi-class priority mechanism against the single priority one, by gathering metrics for the two most important network performance factors, namely packet throughput and delay under uniform traffic conditions and various offered loads, using simulations. Moreover, two different test-bed setups were used in order to investigate and analyze the performance of all priority-class traffic, under different Quality of Service (QoS) configurations. In the considered environment, Switching Elements (SEs) that natively support multi-class priority routing traffic are used for constructing the MIN, while we also consider double-buffered SEs, two configuration parameters that have not been addressed insofar. The rationale behind introducing a multiple-priority scheme is to provide different QoS guarantees to traffic from different applications, which is a highly desired feature for many IP network operators, and particularly for enterprise networks.

	abstract = {In this paper a novel two-priority network schema is presented, and exemplified through its application on singlebuffered Delta Networks in packet switching environments. Network operations considered include conflict resolution and communication strategies. The proposed scheme is evaluated and compared against the single-priority scheme. Performance evaluation was conducted through simulation, due to the complexity of the model, and uniform traffic conditions were considered. Metrics were gathered for the two most important network performance factors, namely packet throughput and the mean time a packet needs to traverse the network. The model can also be uniformly applied to several representative networks providing a basis for fair comparison and the necessary data for network designers to select optimal values for network operation parameters.
