ABSTRACT:
Traffic congestion control is provided for a network node multiport switch capable of switching data packets of different priorities from input lines, via receive adapters, to output lines via transmit adapters. A spacing function is performed to limit the rate of data transfers through the switch in the absence of high priority data at the input lines and in the absence of a backpressure signal indicating the switch is congested at its output. If high priority data is detected or a backpressure signal has been generated, the data transfer rate is increased to deal with possible congestion.
