    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a plurality of FIFO buffers, for example, are provided in a switch, which also includes a switch fabric. Each of the plurality of FIFOs is pre-filled with data for a duration based on a skew or time difference between the time that a data unit group is supplied to its corresponding FIFO and a reference time. The reference time is the time, for example, after a delay period has lapsed following the leading edge of a synch signal, the timing of which is a known system parameter and is used to trigger switching in the switch fabric. Typically, the delay period may be equal to the latency (often, another known system parameter) or length of time required for the data unit to propagate from an input circuit, such as a line card of the switch or another switch, to the FIFO that receives the data unit. At the reference time, temporally aligned data unit groups may be read or output from each FIFO and supplied to the switch fabric. Since the timing of the output from the FIFOs is based on known system parameters, instead of the actual arrival of the slowest data unit group at its corresponding FIFO, time aligned data unit groups may be output regardless of whether the slowest data unit group is available.

    摘要: A switching frame buffer is described in which data units within a sequence of time slots, of a frame, may be simultaneously input and output at ports of the switching frame buffer. In one implementation, a write port may receive data units within a single cycle of the switch. A number of memories may be provided, where first selected ones of the memories constitute memory groups and second selected ones of the memories constitute a memory subsets, each of the memory groups including a corresponding one of the memory subsets. The write port may supply each of a number of copies of the data units to a corresponding one of the memory subsets. Multiplexers may be associated with the groups of the memories and a read port may receive one of the copies of a number of the data units from different ones of the multiplexers.

    摘要: Serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversion devices may provide for efficient conversion of serial bit streams into parallel data units (and vice versa). In one implementation, a device may include delay circuits, each of which being configured to receive a serial data stream. A rotator circuit may receive the delayed serial data streams and rearrange bits in the serial data streams. Register circuits may receive the output of the rotator circuit and collectively output, in parallel, a number of bits of one of the serial bit streams.

    摘要: A propagation delay in the transmission of a frame from an initiator node to a peer node is determined by initially identifying a frame number and byte offset of a first incoming frame from the peer node at a time when the initiator node outputs a portion of a transmitted frame. The portion of the transmitted frame may be the first byte of a sub-frame within the transmitted frame. At the peer node, the frame number and byte offset of a second frame to be supplied to the initiator node is identified at a later time when the frame portion transmitted by the initiator node is received by the peer node, and such information is transmitted to the initiator node. Thus, since the frames output and received by the initiator node are typically of fixed duration, the frame number and byte offset of the incoming frame represent the time when the initiator node outputs the frame portion (a transmit time). In addition, the frame number and byte offset of the second frame represents the time at which the frame portion is received by the peer node (a receive time). Accordingly, by comparing the frame numbers and byte offsets of the first and second frames received from the peer node, a difference between transmit and receive times or propagation delay can be obtained.
