WEIGHT ADAPTION IN PACKET SWITCHES

摘要

The invention relates to a method, a packet switched and a use of a packet switch for configuring a cross-connection matrix within switching means based on status information provided by port controllers of input/output means. By providing generic functions within an arbiter to change weight-values provided by the port controller in order to anticipate the effect of the arbitration result to the weight-values, the bandwidth for status information communication may be reduced.
