5 Designing Paths for Entities
5-20
This part of the example is similar to the model shown in “Use an Attribute to Select an
Output Port” on page 5-8.
Connect Multiple Queues to the Output Switch
The packet switch model must enable entities to advance from three queues to the single
entity input port of the Output Switch block. Candidate blocks are Input Switch and
Path Combiner. The Path Combiner block is more appropriate because it processes
entities as they arrive from any of the entity input ports, whereas the Input Switch block
would restrict arrivals to a specific selected entity input port.
Contention among packets can occur from:
• No blockage: Multiple packets from different sources with the same intended
destination arrive simultaneously at an empty queue and immediately attempt to
arrive at the path combiner.
Although the arrivals occur at the same simulation time value, the processing
sequence depends on:
