Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a switch configured for communicating with a low-latency switch and a buffered switch, the switch having a processor adapted for executing logic, logic adapted for receiving a packet at an ingress port of a switch, logic adapted for receiving congestion information, logic adapted for determining that at least one congestion condition is net based on at least the congestion information, logic adapted for applying a packet forwarding policy to the packet when the at least one congestion condition is met, logic adapted for forwarding the packet to a buffered switch when the packet satisfies the packet forwarding policy, and logic adapted for forwarding the packet to a low-latency switch when the at least one congestion condition is not met.
