Abstract
There is disclosed a bus optimization technique. Pursuant to the bus optimization technique, the output buffer and output logic are removed from port units of a switch and are included with a control matrix in the switch. Data units received in a first port unit of a plurality of port units are provided to a control matrix. The control matrix evaluates when to send the data unit to a second port unit. No output decisions are made in the second port unit.
