Abstract

See full text

The invention is a replication method that requires only one copy of a packet entering a multiport switch to be transmitted from the input port, the method acquiring the deadlock avoidance advantages of virtual cut-through operation. The goal is achieved via a central buffer, with replication occurring during the read of the chunk out of the central buffer by the output ports.
