System and method for routing data

摘要

A system and method for routing data is provided. The system includes a one or more ports, one or more bypass circuits, a data router, and a logic circuit. The one or more bypass circuits are connected to and corresponding in number to the one or more ports. The data router is connected to the one or more bypass circuits. The data router is operable to: monitor for data, decode a priority according to the data, and move data through the one or more bypass circuits according to the priority. The logic circuit is connected to the data router for interfacing to a system bus of a host computer.

主权项

1. A controller for routing data and interconnecting a plurality of communications channels, the controller comprising:
one or more ports; one or more bypass circuits operably connected to and corresponding in number to the one or more ports, wherein each of the one or more bypass circuits is operable to bypass a buffer; a data router operably connected to the one or more bypass circuits, the data router being operable to:
monitor for data,decode a priority according to the data,block a route request according to a condition of the one or more ports,unblock the route request upon resolution of the condition of the one or more ports, andmove the route request through the one or more bypass circuits according to the priority; and a logic circuit operably connected to the data router for interfacing the controller to a system bus of a host computer hosting the controller.
