Abstract: Method and system for a network switch element is provided. The switch element includes a plurality of megaports, each megaport uniquely identified by a unique megaport address identifier for network addressing. Each megaport includes a plurality of operational ports, each operational port identified by a unique operational port address identifier. The switch element also includes a local crossbar for communication between the plurality of operational ports, and a shared logic module configured to provide common control of the plurality of operational ports within a megaport to allow operational ports to share resource of a single megaport to route network packets there between. The switch element also includes a global crossbar configured to allow communication between the megaports

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for implementing hierarchical and lossless packet preemption and interleaving to reduce latency jitter in flow-controller packet-based networks. Fabric packets are divided into a plurality of data units, with data units for different fabric packets buffered in separate buffers. Data units are pulled from the buffers and added to a transmit stream in which groups of data units are interleaved. Upon receipt by a receiver, the groups of data units are separated out and buffered in separate buffers under which data units for the same fabric packets are grouped together. In one aspect, each buffer is associated with a respective virtual lane (VL), and the fabric packets are effectively transferred over fabric links using virtual lanes. VLs may have different levels of priority under which data units for fabric packets in higher-priority VLs may preempt fabric packets in lower-priority VLs. By transferring data units rather than entire packets, transmission of a packet can be temporarily paused in favor of a higher-priority packet. Multiple levels of preemption and interleaving in a nested manner are supported.

Abstract translation: 用于实现分级和无损数据包抢占和交织以减少流控制器基于分组的网络中的延迟抖动的方法，装置和系统。 结构数据包被划分为多个数据单元，不同结构数据包的数据单元缓冲在单独的缓冲区中。 数据单元被从缓冲器中拉出并且被添加到数据单元组交错的发送流中。 在由接收器接收时，数据单元组被分离出并且在单独的缓冲器中缓冲，在这些缓冲器中，用于相同结构数据包的数据单元被分组在一起。 在一个方面，每个缓冲器与相应的虚拟通道（VL）相关联，并且使用虚拟通道在结构链路上有效地传送结构数据包。 VL可以具有不同的优先级，在该优先级下，较高优先级VL中的结构数据包的数据单元可以优先考虑低优先级VL中的结构数据包。 通过传送数据单元而不是整个分组，可以临时暂停分组的传输，以利于较高优先级的分组。 支持多种级别的抢占和嵌套方式的交错。
