ABSTRACT:
A switch for switching packets in a network. The switch includes port cards which send packets to and receive packets from the network. The switch includes fabrics connected to the port cards for switching portions of the packets. Each fabric has queues in which portions of packets are stored. Each queue corresponds to one of the port cards. Each fabric has a determining mechanism which determines which queue the portions of the packet should be placed in. The detecting mechanism is dynamic to reflect changes in port card quantity without any change in connection data of the packets. A method for switching packets in a network.
