Abstract
With a view to managing the increasing traffic in computer networks, round robin arbiter has been proposed to work with packet switching system to have increased speed in providing access and scheduling. Round robin arbiter is a doorway to a particular bus based on request along with equal priority and gives turns to devices connected to it in a cyclic order. Considering the rapid growth in computer networking and the emergence of computer automation which will need much more access to the existing limited resources, this paper emphasizes on designing a reconfigurable round robin arbiter over FPGA which takes parallel requests and processes them with high efficiency and less delay than existing designs. Proposed round robin arbiter encounters with 4 to 12 devices. Results show that with 200% increment in the number of connected devices, only 2.69% increment has been found in the delay. With less delay, proposed round robin arbiter exhibits high speed performance with higher traffic, which is a new feature in comparison with the existing designs.
