Switched network elements, such as layer 2 switches, layer 3 routers, or any other type of
switch that switches packets between input and output ports, maintain either input queues …

A network switch as well as methods, systems and computer program products for
controlling congestion at a granularity of less than a link are provided. Such finer granularity …

A network switch allocates large-scale memory units as data packets are received in order to
implement per-queue, circular egress buffers. Each large-scale memory unit is larger than …

BACKGROUND FIG. 1 shows a typical Switching system 10 for managing traffic of packets of
information over a network backbone. The system 10 contains one or more input ingresses …

Architectures based on a non-blocking fabric, such as a crosspoint switch, are attractive for
use in high-speed LAN switches, ATM switches and IP routers. These fabrics, coupled with …
