| Switch fabrics provide a method to switch the | | | | 3.8 Fujitsu Micro 3-84 |
| packets from input ports to output ports. The | | | | 3.8.1 CX4 versus Other Technologies 3-91 |
| switch fabric must arbitrate traffic when more | | | | 3.9 Fulcrum Microsystems FocalPoint Ethernet |
| than one packet arrives concurrently if both are | | | | Switch and Router Chip Family 3-96 |
| destined for the same output port. Switch fabrics | | | | 3.10 Integrated Device Technologies 3-99 |
| provide sufficient buffering to handle situations | | | | 3.10.1 Integrated Device Technologies Traffic |
| where the packet input rate is greater than the | | | | Manager Family 3-101 |
| switch fabric's throughput capability. The two | | | | 3.11 Atera 3-102 |
| possible locations for buffering are at the input of | | | | 3.11.1 Atera Switch Fabric Positioning 3-102 |
| the switch fabric (input queuing) or internally to | | | | 3.11.2 Altera Stratix GX Switch Fabric System |
| the switch fabric (shared-memory). Switch fabrics | | | | 3-103 |
| control quality of service (QoS) | | | | 3.11.3 Altera Centralized Switch Fabrics 3-104 |
