ABSTRACT:
A router coupled to a plurality of external links transporting data packets to and from the router. Embodiments of the router including a plurality of fabric routers interconnected by fabric links forming or capable of forming a Gamma graph interconnection network. One or more external links are coupled to each fabric router allowing the routing of packets between external links by traversing one or more hops across the fabric links. The Gamma graph interconnection network of the router providing for high port counts and increased bandwidth availability. Furthermore, the use of industry standard buses, such as Infiniband buses, allow for the interconnection of multiple heterogeneous application specific modules to interface and communicate with one another.
