ABSTRACT:
A credit-based pacing scheme for heterogeneous speed frame forwarding. A control logic controls the transmission of data between a source device and a destination device in accordance with a handshaking protocol. Pacing logic paces the transmission of the data from the source device to the destination device to prevent congestion in the switching fabric. A credit scheme is used to arbitrate among multiple pacing modules per device, each forwarding data at a different rate.
