Abstract

A method and system for reducing arbitration latency employs speculative transmission (STX) without prior arbitration in combination with routing fabric scheduled arbitration. Packets are sent from source locations to a routing fabric through scheduled arbitration, and also through speculative arbitration, to non-contentiously allocate outputs that were not previously reserved in the routing fabric to the speculatively transmitted packets.
