  • Scalable switch fabric system and apparatus for computer networks
    Publication number: 20030202520
    Abstract: A scalable switch fabric system and apparatus for computer networks. The scalable switch fabric system and apparatus comprises a Switch Fabric Subsystem, Input-Output Subsystems, Application Subsystems and System Control Subsystems. The Switch Fabric Subsystem is a protocol agnostic cell or packet switching infrastructure that provides scalable interconnections between the Input-Output Subsystems and Application Subsystems. The Switch Fabric Subsystem provides primary data paths for network traffic being moved by the switch. The Input-Output Subsystems connect to the external network devices that use the switch to communicate with other external network devices. The Input-Output Subsystems are part of the data path and do low level decoding of ingress frames from the external ports; switching/routing, identifying the destination Input-Output Subsystems for the frame; and queuing the frame for transmission through the Switch Fabric.
