Input buffered switching device including bypass logic

摘要

A method includes receiving a first packet at an input of a switching device and determining whether to insert first data associated with the first packet into a normal buffer of the input. The determination of whether to insert first data associated with the first packet into the normal buffer includes determining whether the first output identifier matches a second output identifier corresponding to second data in the normal buffer that is associated with a second packet. The first data is inserted into the normal buffer when the first output identifier matches the second output identifier.

1. A method of input buffering a switching device, the method comprising:
receiving a first packet at an input of a switching device, wherein the first packet includes a first output identifier corresponding to an output of the switching device; and determining whether to insert first data associated with the first packet into a normal buffer of the input, the determination comprising:
determining whether the first output identifier matches a second output identifier corresponding to second data in the normal buffer, wherein the second data is associated with a second packet; andinserting first data into the normal buffer when the first output identifier matches the second output identifier.
