Abstract

A switch and switching method is disclosed. The switch provides default cut-throughs having the characteristics of both default channels and cut-throughs without internodal signaling for flow establishment. The switch includes switch hardware for interfacing a plurality of input ports to a plurality of output ports, a controller for controlling the forwarding of packets received on the input ports from a transmitting node to the output ports, and input default cut-through mapping an input port to the controller and an output default cut-through mapping the controller to an output port leading to a next hop for the packets. The controller determines whether a first packet meets predetermined flow establishment criteria and assigns the output default cut-through to the input default cut-through to bypass the controller to establish a cut-through connection in response to the first packet meeting the flow establishment criteria. The controller may also map a plurality of flows to the cut-through connection. A first timer is used for timing the period since the transmission of the packet. The first timer is restarted after each packet has been sent. A second timer is used for measuring the period since the assignement of the output default cut-through to the input default cut-through. Permanent cut-throughs may be used to map an input port to an output port for shortlived traffic. A third timer may be provided for controlling the duration of permanent cut-throughs. The controller may also route packets to a next hop on the basis of an IP layer header. An adjacency protocol is used to exchange configuration information between adjacent nodes and advertise available default cut-throughs.
