Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An arbitration technique for determining mappings for a switch is described. During a given arbitration decision cycle, an arbitration mechanism maintains, until expiration, a set of mappings from a subset of the input ports to a subset of the output ports of the switch. This set of mappings was determined during an arbitration decision cycle up to K cycles preceding the given arbitration decision cycle. Because the set of mappings are maintained, it is easier for the arbitration mechanism to determine mappings from a remainder of the input ports to the remainder of the output ports without collisions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An allocation circuit for a switch having N input ports and M output ports, comprising an arbitration mechanism, wherein, during a given arbitration decision cycle, the arbitration mechanism is configured to: maintain, until expiration, a set of mappings from a subset of the N input ports to a subset of the M output ports, wherein the set of mappings were determined during an arbitration decision cycle up to K cycles preceding the given arbitration decision…
