  • Patent number: 7061865
    Abstract: Data switching systems for use in ATM and other packet and cell switching networks can more smoothly switch data if incoming data packets to be switched are re-ordered to avoid overwhelming an output port with too many consecutive packets to a particular destination. An apparatus and method for simply re-ordering data samples in a non-consecutive manner is computationally efficient and effective.
    Type: Grant
