It begins by describing the role of switch\/routers in a network, then moves on to the functional composition of a switch\/router. A comparison of centralized versus distributed design of the architecture is also presented. The author discusses use of bus versus shared-memory for communication within a design, and also covers Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms and configuration tools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten in a simple style and language to allow readers to easily understand and appreciate the material presented, \u003ci\u003eSwitch\/Router Architectures: Shared-Bus and Shared-Memory Based Systems\u003c\/i\u003e discusses the design of multilayer switchesstarting with the basic concepts and on to the basic architectures.
