Packet switching system

摘要

A packet switching system that arbitrates between Virtual Output Queues (VoQ) in plural input buffers, so as to grant the right of transmitting data to a crossbar switch to some of the VoQs by taking both an output data interval of VoQ and queue length of VoQ as parameters, wherein the system suppresses the delay time of the segment of VoQ having high load thereby preventing buffers from overflowing; and also permits the VoQ having low loads to transmit segments under no influence of the VoQ that has high load and is just reading out the segment.
