Abstract
A network switch has a packet pulling architecture, and also supports packet pushing. In an example implementation, a device includes: an output buffer; a data crossbar connected to the output buffer; an input buffer connected to the data crossbar; an input queue; a request crossbar connected to the input queue; and an output queue. The input queue is configured to transfer a packet from the input buffer to the output buffer over the data crossbar in response to the packet being eligible for packet pushing, and to send a push request in parallel with transferring the packet to the output buffer. The output queue is configured to receive the push request from the input queue over the request crossbar, and to control reading of the packet from the output buffer in response to granting the push request.
