Abstract

In this paper, a new architecture for a multicast large scale private multicast ATM switch is proposed. The proposed architecture is a two stage switch, which can be easily expanded from few tens to hundreds of input ports. The number of ports which must be served through the switch are divided into separate partitions. This results in reducing the memory capacity which required in the trunk number translators of the copy network modules. The memory reduction in the trunk number translator, is evaluated at the end of this paper.
