Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, packets are sent a packet switching mechanism of a packet switching device, which includes partitioning each particular packet into a plurality of cells with each particular packet and cell derived therefrom associated with a same particular timestamp and a same particular ingress point identifier representing an ingress point of a plurality of ingress points of the packet switching mechanism. These cells are sent through the packet switching mechanism by selecting and forwarding, at each of a plurality of points within the packet switching mechanism. A tie-breaking value is determined based on a manipulation of ingress point identifier associated with said identifiable cell in a manner to vary the tie-breaking selection ordering of ingress point identifiers for different timestamp values. The tie-breaking value is used in selecting a next cell to forward when cells are associated with a same timestamp.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: sending a plurality of packets through a packet switching mechanism of a packet switching device, which includes partitioning each particular packet into a plurality of cells with each particular packet associated with a particular timestamp and a particular ingress point identifier representing an ingress point of a plurality of ingress points of the packet switching mechanism, and with each particular cell of the plurality of cells as…
