Patent number: 7664904Abstract: A high-speed serial switch fabric is configured to perform a mapping of a traffic class that is capable of differentiating traffics onto a virtual channel. The high-speed serial switch fabric connects a plurality of devices. A traffic-class setting unit sets, when a conflict occurs between devices connected to the high-speed serial switch fabric, the traffic class for each of traffics in the devices having the conflict. A channel setting unit assigns each of set traffic classes to different virtual channels, and gives a priority of data communication to each of the set traffic classes.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2007Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Ricoh Company, LimitedInventors: Koji Oshikiri, Noriyuki Terao, Junichi Ikeda, Atsuhiro Oizumi, Satoru Numakura, Yutaka Maita, Tomonori Tanaka, Hiroyuki Kimbara, Keiichi Iwasaki, Toshihiro Tsukagoshi, Iwao Hamaguchi, Hidetake Tanaka, Naoki Tsumura, Hiroo Kitagawa
