1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory, and a processor operatively coupled to the memory implementing a schedule module, the schedule module configured to access at a first time a list of status indicators associated with a plurality of egress port indicators including a set of status indicators, the list of status indicators being associated with a plurality of destination-related indicators, each status indicator from the set of status indicators having a first value, for each cell from a plurality of cells,
(1) the schedule module is configured to map a destination indicator of that cell to a group indicator of that cell,(2) the schedule module is configured to map the group indicator of that cell to a destination-related indicator of that cell, and the plurality of cells including a first set of cells having a first destination-related indicator, the first set of cells including a first cell and a second cell, the destination indicator of the first cell being different from the destination indicator of the second cell, the schedule module configured to randomly select a first status indicator from the set of status indicators and configured to change the first status indicator from the first value to a second value and remove the first status indicator from the set of status indicators, the schedule module configured to send an egress port indicator associated with the first status indicator such that a cell is sent from an egress port associated with that egress port indicator, at a second time after the first time, when every status indicator from the list of status indicators has the second value, the schedule module configured to change every status indicator from the list of status indicators from the second value to the first value. |
