Abstract
A scalable high-speed packet switching device includes a packet switch with ports, a crosspoint matrix, and a plurality of subswitches, one for each port of the packet switch. A processor in the packet switch detects a high level of traffic between two ports and causes the subswitches and crosspoint matrix to divert packets away from the packet switch and through a dedicated channel in the crosspoint matrix.
