Abstract
A self-adjusting load balancing among multiple fabric ports. A plurality of first values is received in response to receiving a first frame, wherein each of the first values is related to a quantity of data stored in a respective one of a plurality of buffers of fabric ports. First identifiers are also received, each of which corresponds to a respective one of a first subset of the plurality of buffers. A subset of the first identifiers is selected based on one or more of the first values. Thereafter one of the first identifiers contained in the selected subset is selected. Ultimately the first frame is transmitted to the buffer that corresponds to the selected one of the first identifiers.
