Abstract
A switch core includes a first switch element which receives a trigger and changes a first connection map at a predetermined point relative to receipt of a data frame following the trigger and a second switch element which receives the trigger and changes a second connection map at a predetermined point relative to receipt of a data frame following the trigger.
Claims28
A method of transmitting data through a switch core that includes a switch element, the method comprising:
- receiving a trigger;
- recognizing the trigger;
- changing a connection map at a predetermined point relative to receipt of a data frame following recognizing the trigger;
- and
- transmitting subsequent data through the switch element in accordance with the changed connection map.
A switch core comprising:
- a first switch element which receives a trigger and changes a first connection map at a predetermined point relative to receipt of a data frame following the trigger;
- and
- a second switch element which receives the trigger and changes a second connection map at a predetermined point relative to receipt of a data frame following the trigger.
A switch to transmit data through a switch core, the switch comprising:
- circuitry to (i) receive a trigger, (ii) recognize the trigger, (iii) change a connection map at a predetermined point relative to receipt of a data frame following recognizing the trigger, and (iv) transmit subsequent data through the switch in accordance with the changed connection map.
A machine-readable medium which stores executable instructions to control transmission of data through a switch core that includes a switch element, the instructions causing the switch element to:
- receive a trigger;
- recognize the trigger;
- change a connection map at a predetermined point relative to receipt of a data frame following recognizing the trigger;
- and
- transmit subsequent data through the switch element in accordance with the changed connection map.
