Abstract
An Infiniband device can be provided. The device can have an input port for receiving a packet. The port can be operable to extract a destination descriptor and a quality of service requirement descriptor for the packet and simultaneously to determine an output port of the device for onward transmission of the packet on the basis of the destination descriptor and to determine an output port virtual lane for each output port of the device on the basis of the quality of service requirement descriptor. The port can additionally be operable subsequently to use the determined output port to select between the determined output port virtual lanes.
