Abstract
Packets or cells received from different input ports of a switch and destined for a common output port of that switch, are analyzed to determine their priority level. Lower-priority packets or cells are buffered in recirculation delay lines of appropriately-selected lengths, and thereafter scheduled for transmission to the output port based on their level of priority.
