We consider a hybrid switch which provides integrated packet (asynchronous) and circuit (isochronous) switching. Queue size and delay distribution of the packet switched traffic in the steady state are derived by modelling the packet queue as a queue in a Markovian environment. The arrival process of the packets as well as of the circuit allocation requests are both modelled by a Poisson process. The analysis is performed for several circuit allocation policies, namely repacking, first-fit (involving static or dynamic renumbering) and best-fit. Both exact results and approximations are discussed. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effect of increase in packet and circuit loading on the packet delay for each of the policies.
