Abstract
A network switch includes an input port configured to receive a first data packet comprising a header of metadata and a payload of a plurality of cells. The network switch includes a controller configured to determine, using at least the metadata, an eligibility of directing the first data packet to a first path or otherwise directing the first data packet to a second path. The first path is characterized by a first latency. The second path is characterized by a second latency. The first latency is lower than the second latency. The network switch is configured to start storing the first data packet from the first path into a queue upon receiving a first cell of the payload, to manage the packet in the queue, to retrieve the cells from the queue to prepare a second data packet; and to transmit the second data packet upon identification of a destination port.
