Abstract

See full text

A network node (bridge, switch, router) and method for traffic interconnection in a communication network. The node includes an interconnection network or switch fabric having ingress and egress ports in communication with the input and output ports of the node. The interconnection network also includes an interconnector having a retiming module, a permutation module, and a re-alignment module. Data arriving at the node input ports is provided to the ingress queues of the interconnection network where it is queued, if necessary, and then processed through the interconnector so that it can be provided to an appropriate egress port. Data at the egress ports is then provided to output ports for transmission toward its intended destination.
