Abstract

An interconnect switch stores data messages received from one or more source devices and prioritizes the data messages received from each source device based on the order that the data messages were received from the source device. For each available destination device associated with the interconnect switch, the interconnect switch identifies the data messages with the highest priority that are to be routed to the available destination device and selects one of the identified data messages for the available destination device. The interconnect switch then routes the selected data messages to the available destination devices.
