<p>A method for controlling data packet routing through a switching element having a first plurality of input ports and a second plurality of output ports, the method comprising the steps of: detecting issuance of a first congestion indicator from an output port of the switching element, the first congestion indicator relating to a first routing request from a first input port of the switching element; allowing reassertion of the first routing request after a first time period; detecting issuance of a second congestion indicator from the output port of the switching element, the second congestion indicator relating to a second routing request from a second input port of the switching element; allowing reassertion of the second routing request after a second time period, wherein the first and second time periods are such that reassertions of the first and second connection requests occur substantially simultaneously. Also provided is a device for controlling such data packet routing.</p> |
