PREDICTIVE PACKET FORWARDING FOR A NETWORK SWITCH
A network switch includes a predictor using data in a packet to predict a flow for the packet. A forwarding engine forwards at least a portion of the packet on a switch fabric to an egress port in the switch determined from the predicted flow. The forwarding engine is operable to forward the packet...

Zusammenfassung: | A network switch includes a predictor using data in a packet to predict a flow for the packet. A forwarding engine forwards at least a portion of the packet on a switch fabric to an egress port in the switch determined from the predicted flow. The forwarding engine is operable to forward the packet on the switch fabric to the egress port determined from the predicted flow prior to a lookup module determining a flow from a lookup. |
