A network device includes one or more sprayers, multiple packet processors, and one or more desprayers. The sprayers receive packets on at least one incoming packet stream and distribute the packets according to a load balancing scheme that balances the number of bytes of packet data that is given to each of the packet processors. The packet processors receive the packets from the sprayers and process the packets to determine routing information for the packets. The desprayers receive the processed packets from the packet processors and transmit the packets on at least one outgoing packet stream based on the routing information.

In general, the invention is directed to techniques for reducing deadlocks that may arise when performing fabric replication. For example, as described herein, a network device includes packet replicators that each comprises a plurality of resource partitions. A replication data structure for a packet received by the network device includes packet replicator nodes that are arranged hierarchically to occupy one or more levels of the replication data structure. Each of the resource partitions in each of the plurality of packet replicators is associated with a different level of the replication data structure. The packet replicators replicate the packet according to the replication data structure, and each of the packet replicators handles the packet using the one of the resource partitions of the packet replicator that is associated with the level of the replication data structure occupied by the node that corresponds to that particular packet replicator.

In one embodiment, a method can include receiving at an egress schedule module a request to schedule transmission of a group of cells from an ingress queue through a switch fabric of a multi-stage switch. The ingress queue can be associated with an ingress stage of the multi-stage switch. The egress schedule module can be associated with an egress stage of the multi-stage switch. The method can also include determining, in response to the request, that an egress port at the egress stage of the multi-stage switch is available to transmit the group of cells from the multi-stage switch.

A system updates a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value. The system receives data containing an arbitrary number of valid and invalid portions. The valid portions are positioned adjacent to one another. The system also receives a signal representing a quantity of valid portions in the data and a current CRC value. The system updates the current CRC value using the data and signal in a single clock cycle.

In general, techniques are described that insert one or more bits into a digital bit stream to maintain an overall transition density in the digital bit stream. Maintaining the overall transition density facilitates the generation of a recovered clock by a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit of a receiver. For example, when a data transition ratio for a portion of the digital bit stream is less than a desired data transition ratio, the techniques insert additional bits to increase the overall transition density of the digital bit stream.
