Abstract

A method includes receiving a first packet at an input of a switching device and determining whether to insert first data associated with the first packet into a normal buffer of the input. The determination of whether to insert first data associated with the first packet into the normal buffer includes determining whether the first output identifier matches a second output identifier corresponding to second data in the normal buffer that is associated with a second packet. The first data is inserted into the normal buffer when the first output identifier matches the second output identifier.
