ABSTRACT:
Method and system for routing network information using a switch element coupled to a network link is provided. The switch element includes a programmable control system to configure the switch element to operate in a default mode, an immediate mode, a threshold mode or an interleave mode; and during the immediate mode, a transmit port inserts at least a fill word with at least a unique character when network information is not available, and transmits network information as soon as it is available. The method includes, determining if an immediate mode is enabled; transmitting at least a fill word with a unique character to a receive port, if network information is unavailable and transmitting network information if the immediate mode is enabled and network information is available.
