Abstract
Techniques are disclosed to implement a scheduling scheme for a crossbar scheduler that provides distributed request-grant-accept arbitration between input group arbiters and output group arbiters in a distributed switch. Input and output ports are grouped and assigned a respective arbiter. The input group arbiters communicate requests indicating a count of respective ports having data packets to be transmitted via one of the output ports. The output group arbiter attempts to accommodate the requests for each member of an input group before proceeding to a next input group.
