Abstract
A cross-bar switch includes a set of input ports to accept data packets and a set of sink ports in communication with the input ports to forward the data packets. Each sink port includes a communications link interface with a Retry input. When a signal is asserted on the Retry input, the sink port aborts transmission of a data packet and waits a predetermined period of time to retransmit the data packet.
