Abstract
Scheduling is performed for a switch fabric (e.g., an input-buffered switch fabric). A first input port from a set of input ports is selected, for a first output port, based on a weight value uniquely associated with each link from a first set of links. Each link from the first set of links are between the first output port and a unique input port from the set of input ports. A second output port from a set of output ports is selected for a second input port.
