ABSTRACT:
A technique for providing access to a switch fabric is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method comprises determining scheduling information specific to a link to the switch fabric and using the scheduling information to determine a queue to be serviced by the link. In some embodiments, the system comprises a buffer configured to store a plurality of queues, and a queue scheduler associated with the buffer and configured to determine scheduling information specific to a link to the switch fabric and use the scheduling information to select one of the plurality of queues as the next queue to be serviced by the link.
