Abstract

This paper identifies the equivalence of deadlock prevention in store-and-forward communication networks and simultaneous arrival of packets to a switch of bufferless highspeed networks. Scheduling of packet transmission schemes, called baked-potato schemes, are used to avoid simultaneous arrival of packets to a switch. Scheduling schemes are presented for any capacity links and switches. They are evaluated by maximal length of time between two successive schedulings of a processor. It is shown that baked-potato scheme does not assume any prior knowledge on the source destination demands and can be used for sending control packets and broadcasting.
