Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9935792A1] A scheduling and arbitration scheme in an input-buffered switch with speedup deterministic bandwidth and delay performance independent of switch size is presented. Within the framework of a crossbar architecture having a plurality of input channels and output channels, the scheduling and arbitration scheme determines the sequence of fixed-size packet or cell transmissions between the input channels and output channels satisfying the constraint that only one cell can leave an input channel and enter an output channel per phase in such a way that the arbitration delay is bounded for each cell awaiting transmission at the input channel. If the fixed-sized packets result from fragmentation of variable size packets, the scheduling and arbitration scheme implies that if delay guarantees are provided at the cell level, they are also provided to the initial variable size packets, re-assembled at the output channel, as well.
