ABSTRACT:
A crosspoint switch uses an iterative process to deliver multicast packets from inputs to outputs. The switch includes output queues dedicated to the inputs, with backpressure indications provided from the output queues to the corresponding inputs. The inputs use the backpressure indications to schedule multicast packets for delivery to one or more of the output queues.
