  • Resource scheduling algorithm in packet switched networks with multiple alternate links
    Patent number: 6389017
    Abstract: A system and method for scheduling packets between multiple links of an adaptive set utilizes a destination register or a cache line associated with each of the alternate links of the network switch. Each of the cache lines holds the destination of the last packet that used the link. Upon arrival, a packet associatively checks the content of all cache lines. If it hits, then it uses the corresponding link; otherwise, the packet is scheduled according to a round-robin policy or other default policy.
