Abstract
A network device, such as a network switch, can include an ingress to receive data packets from a network. The ingress can communicate with an egress included in the network device though a fabric included in the network device. At least one of ingress and the egress can enqueue a data packet prior to receipt of all cells of the data packet. The ingress can also commence with dequeue of the cells of the received data packet prior to receipt of the entire data packet from the network. At least one of ingress and the egress can process the data packets using cut-through processing and store-and-forward processing. In a case of cut-through processing of a data packet at both the ingress and the egress of a network device, such as CIOQ switch, the fabric can be allocated to provide a prioritized virtual channel through the fabric for the data packet.
