Abstract
For traffic mixing, an implementation involves generating a random element in a device that detects nondeterministic events already occurring in operation of the device and mapping them to the random element by means of an assignment rule. The traffic mixing in an ATM switching element (SE) is achieved by cyclically writing data packets into a buffer (MEM) and cyclically reading data packets out of a buffer (MEM). The write cycle in this case is clocked by the arrival of a data packet, that is, by a nondeterministic event. The read cycle is clocked by a stable clock signal.
