  abstract= "To date, practical experience in constructing switching
     networks using IEEE 1355 technology has been confined to
     relatively small systems and there are no experimental
     results on how the performance of such systems will scale up
     to several hundred or even several thousand nodes. Some
     theoretical studies have been carried out for large networks
     of up to one thousand nodes for different topologies. We
     present results obtained on a large modular testbed using
     100 Mbits/s point to point DS links. One thousand nodes will
     be interconnected by a switching fabric based on the 32 way
     STC104 packet switch. The system has been designed and
     constructed in a modular way to allow a variety of different
     network topologies to be investigated (Clos, grid, torus,
     etc.). Network throughput and latency are being studied for
     various traffic conditions as a function of the topology and
     network size. Results obtained with the current 656 node
     setup are presented."
