In the subject system for a network switch may receive one or more packets via a set of input ports. The network switch may write the one or more packets into an ingress buffer of an ingress tile shared by the set of input ports. The network switch may read the one or more packets from the ingress buffer according to a schedule by a scheduler. The network switch may forward the read one or more packets to a plurality of output ports.

Traffic management for high-bandwidth switching

In the subject system for a network switch may determine to transition the output port of the network switch between a store-and-forward (SAF) state and a cut-through (CT) state based on at least one factor. The network switch may determine, based on a condition of the output port, whether to transition the output port to a transition-cut-through (TCT) state or directly to a CT state when transitioning the output port to the CT state. When the output port is transitioned to the TCT state, the network switch may determine, based on the condition of the output port, whether to transition the output port to the CT state or to transition the output port back to the SAF state.
