Abstract
In one implementation, a network device is configured to implement an intra switch transport protocol. The intra switch transport protocol is configured to determine a window size according to a predetermined bandwidth and a round trip time between a plurality of ingress ports and an egress port. The network device is configured to sending at least one data packet from an ingress port to an egress port without first receiving any acknowledgement from the egress port. The network device continues to send packets and increment a counter accordingly until the counter reaches the window size. The network device ceases transmission of subsequent data packets and/or queues subsequent data packets based on the counter exceeding the window size.
