Title:
NETWORK SWITCH AND COMPONENT AND METHOD OF OPERATION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006020371
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a scalable switch architecture which is used in data communication network, increases processing speed of transferred data, and can resize support capability into within a scope of each type of potential request.
A network switch apparatus, components for such an apparatus, and methods of operating such an apparatus in which data flow handling and flexibility is enhanced by the cooperation of a control point and a plurality of interface processors formed on a semiconductor substrate. The control point and interface processors together form a network processor capable of cooperating with other elements including an optional switching fabric device in executing instructions directing the flow of data in a network.
