Explanation of Solution

Packet loss at input ports and its elimination:

  • By switching the fabric speed, the data packets at input ports are queued.
  • With the consideration of data transmission, the data packets present behind the first packet are blocked and their outputs are queued...

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
a) Describe how packet loss can occur at input ports.b) Describe how packet loss at input ports can be eliminated (without using infinite buffers).
Channel partitioning MAC protocols are: A. Efficient for low channel load since the delay is N/2, whereas N is the number of nodes. B. None is true. C. Efficient for low channel load since the delay is 1/N, whereas N is the number of nodes. D. Efficient for high channel load since the delay is N/2, whereas N is the number of nodes. E. Efficient for high channel load since the delay is 1/N, whereas N is the number of nodes.
