Abstract
A system and method of switching data using a switch device that includes a plurality of input ports, a plurality of switch units, and a plurality of output ports. Each input port storing data to be sent may generate a request to output data to each of the output ports to which stored data is to be sent, wherein each request identifies a specific one of the plurality of switch units to be used to transfer the data from the corresponding input port to the corresponding output port. Grants may be generated per output port per switch unit. Grants may be accepted per input port per switch unit. Data may be outputted from the respective input ports to the respective output ports, based on the accepted grants, utilizing the switch units identified in the requests corresponding to the accepted grants.
