    摘要: A network of switches having a first switch having a first memory interface and a first expansion port. The network also has an expansion bus having a first expansion bus interface and a second expansion bus interface. The first expansion bus interface is connected to the first expansion port. A second switch has a second memory interface and a second expansion port. The second expansion port is connected to the second expansion bus interface, thereby connecting the first switch to the second switch, wherein the expansion bus allows the first switch to directly access the second memory interface through the second switch and the second switch to directly access the first memory interface through the first switch.

    摘要: A system for reducing clock speed and power consumption in a network chip. The system has a core that transmits and receives signals at a first clock speed. A receive buffer is in communication with the core and configured to transmit the signals to the core at the first clock speed. A transmit buffer is in communication with the core and configured to receive signals from the core at the first clock speed. A sync is configured to receive signals in the receive buffer at a second clock speed and to transmit the signals from the transmit buffer at the second clock speed. The sync is in communication with the transmit buffer and the receive buffer.

    摘要: A system of switches having a memory/command bus having a first interface, a second interface and a third interface. A memory is connected to the third interface of the memory/command bus. The memory has a first memory address. A first switch monitors the memory/command bus and interprets information written to the first memory address as proxy information. The first switch is connected to the first interface of the memory/command bus. The second switch monitors the memory/command bus and interprets information written to the first memory address as proxy information. The second switch is connected to the second interface of the memory/command bus.
