Abstract: An apparatus includes a crossbar circuit that routes one or more packets between one or more ingress domains and one or more egress domains. The crossbar circuit includes sub-crossbar domains. An ingress control circuit associated with the one or more ingress domains may distribute packet data of the one or more packets to the sub-crossbar domains. An egress control circuit of the apparatus receives data bits associated with the packet data from egresses associated with the plurality of sub-crossbar domains. The egress control circuit may reorder or refrain from reordering the data bits based on an attribute associated with the distribution of the packet data.

Abstract: A network device, system, and method are provided. An illustrative network device includes a plurality of ports connectable to a communication network, one or more reduction units decoupled from the plurality of ports, and configurable logic to service packet transmission between the one or more reduction units and the plurality of ports.

Abstract: A switching device includes ingress ports, egress ports, and switching circuits that connect the ingress ports with the egress ports. The switching device segments data included in a packet received at an ingress port into a plurality of segments. The switching device transfers the plurality of segments to an egress port via a data path included in the switching circuits, according to a first mode of routing the packet in an absence of reading a descriptor corresponding to the packet. The switching device orders, using port logic associated with the egress port, the segments and provides sequence numbers associated with the ordered segments to port logic associated with the ingress port. The switching device validates the transfer of the plurality of segments according to the first mode based on verifying that the sequence numbers satisfy at least one criterion.
