A method or system or apparatus provides improved digital communication. In one aspect, destination scheduling is performed by scheduling polling rather than scheduling data emissions. In particular aspects, a loop port scheduler assigns a weight and sequence number to each destination and scheduling polling of ports using these parameters.

Method and apparatus for managing data traffic between a high capacity source and multiple destinations

A scaleable bandwidth interconnect (SBI) for interconnection of physical layer devices with link layer devices which includes an ADD BUS interface operative to receive data from one of the link layer devices and direct it to one of the physical layer devices and a DROP BUS interface operative to receive data from one of the physical layer devices and direct it to one of the link layer devices. By utilizing buses to access each of the physical layer devices and the link layer devices permits interfacing between a high density of physical layer devices and a high density of link layer devices.
