Title: Route selection based on buffer congestion

Abstract

A switch includes a plurality of ingress ports, a plurality of egress ports, and a plurality of buffers comprising a buffer coupled to each ingress port, egress port pair. An ingress port is to determine a plurality of potential egress ports for a packet. The ingress port is to select an egress port of the plurality of potential egress ports based on congestion of the corresponding buffers coupled to the ingress port and to each of the plurality of potential egress ports. The ingress port is to place the packet into the corresponding buffer coupled to the ingress port and the selected egress port.
