In this paper, our focus is on investigating bursty level switching using the proposed switch architecture. We use the flexibility of the switch and adopt a new switching method for data bursts. This switching method is efficient for switching bursts while introducing new challenges. Unlike the traditional switching method, it switches bursts arriving on an input link with zero (or very small) time gaps to different output links in certain scenarios. Further, it also switches bursts from different input links to the same output link when they arrive with zero (or very small) time interval. Adopting such switching approaches has potential benefits in terms of delay-load performance and blocking performance. While the bursts are switched from the same input link to different output links in this approach, it creates some unwanted signals. We investigate scenarios in which the unwanted signals create any problems and this poses some challenges. To address such challenges, we develop a transmission protocol. We investigate the performance of our solutions using simulation studies and verify the two significant gains: (1) networks¡¯ capability to sustain traffic loads up to the maximum level in terms of the delay-load performance, which is similar to the performance seen for hypothetical ideal switches with zero switching time, and (2) improved blocking performance.
