    摘要: Switches for performing packet switching and associated methods are provided. An example switch includes an ingress port for receiving a packet. The switch includes a plurality of egress ports for discharging the packet from the switch. The switch includes a plurality of egress queues with each egress queue associated with one of the plurality of egress ports. The switch includes a control plane configured to determine a descriptor associated with a packet, determine a first egress port from which to discharge the at least one packet and to transmit the descriptor to an egress queue associated with the first egress port. The switch includes a descriptor crossbar configured to transmit the descriptor from the egress queue to a second egress port of the plurality of egress ports. The switch includes a packet crossbar configured to transmit the at least one packet from the ingress port to the second egress port.

    摘要: A data communication system includes a plurality of mutually-disjoint sets of switches, each set including multiple mutually-disjoint subsets of the switches in the set. Local links interconnect the switches within each of the subsets in a fully-connected topology, while none of the switches in any given subset are connected in a single hop to any of the switches in any other subset within the same set. Global links interconnect the sets of the switches, each global link connecting one switch in one of the sets to another switch in another one of the sets, such that each of the subsets in any given set of the switches is connected in a single hop by at least one global link to at least one of the subsets of every other set of the switches.
