Abstract
A switch architecture includes an ingress module, ingress fabric interface module, and a switch fabric. The switch fabric communicates with egress fabric interface modules and egress modules. The architecture implements multiple layers of congestion management. The congestion management may include fast acting link level flow control and more slowly acting end-to-end flow control. The switch architecture simultaneously provides high scalability, with low latency and low frame loss.
