ABSTRACT:
A data routing mechanism is disclosed. The data routing mechanism includes virtual output queues (VOQs), corresponding to a first input port, that store data to be sent to one of a first and second output port. The data routing mechanism includes VOQs, corresponding to a second input port, that store data to be sent to one of the first and second output port. The data routing mechanism includes a switch fabric that includes a plurality of buffers at crosspoints between the first and second input ports and the first and second output ports. The data routing mechanism includes a first input scheduler that transmits a first data from the VOQs corresponding to the first input port to one of the plurality of buffers based on lengths of the VOQs corresponding to the first input port and a credit state of the plurality of buffers.
