Abstract
A method for automatically managing a virtual output queuing system in a switching fabric. The method includes detecting if a link is one of a non-operational-link and an operational-link. The link enables communication between a first-switching-unit and a second-switching-unit. If the link is the non-operational-link, the method further includes discarding at least one packet destined for the link. The discarding step further includes either dropping of the at least one packet or scheduling the at least one packet.
