Abstract
An interconnect switch is used to couple input ports and output ports. The interconnect switch includes a central buffer having a number of storage entries to store data units from input ports. When an output port is available, data unit(s) are transferred from the central buffer to an output port. A main pointer queue contains addresses that point to storage entries in the central buffer.
