ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and associated method for facilitating data flow through a multiple port multicast data switch includes receiving a data packet at a first port of the multicast data switch, the data packet formed of sequentially positioned cells of data. Determining if the second port is congested and if congested sending the selected cell to the second port if and when the second port becomes uncongested within a selected period of time. If otherwise uncongested, copying the cell data to the second port.
