Abstract

A backplane interface adapter (600) with error control and redundant fabric for a high-performance network switch (100). The redundant fabric transceiver of the backplane interface adapter improves the adapter's ability to properly and consistently receive narrow input cells (1300) carrying packets of data and output wide striped cells (1500) to a switching fabric.
