Globally fair polling for packet switched routers using dynamically biased arbitration

摘要

Techniques for routing data packets in a networked system. Specifically, a network system and methods of arbitrating data packets in a network system are provided. Switching devices are configured to receive one or more data packets, wherein each of the one or more data packets is received at a respective input port each having a respective input port identification. The routing order of the data packets is determined based on the input port identification corresponding to the respective input port at which each of the data packets is received.
