Hyperscale Switch Element (HSS) for Data Center Network Switching
6 Oct 22
A hyperscale switch device (HSS) comprising: a plurality of input/output (I/O) switch modules instantiated on an integrated circuit in switchable communication with a plurality of direct connect switch modules (PSP SFMs) instantiated on the integrated circuit via a cross bar switch, for communicating data packets between external devices, wherein for the plurality of input/output (I/O) switch modules instantiated on the integrated circuit, each I/O switch module instantiation having on an ingress side, a forwarding engine configured to receive and forward data packet requests; and an interface responsive to the forwarding engine for communicating a data packet out from the I/O switch module according to a port number provided by the forwarding engine; wherein the forwarding engine receives a network address identifier received in a data packet at an I/O port for transmission to a destination I/O port, and determines an internal port number for routing by the switch engine out from the switch module, according to a lookup table which maps internal port numbers of the switch module with destination I/O ports corresponding to peripheral devices connected to a network.

Switch Flow Module on an Integrated Circuit for Aggregation In Data Center Network Switching
6 Oct 22
A single switch flow module instantiated on an integrated circuit, comprising: a single forwarding engine element configured to receive and forward data packets; and a single switch engine element co-located with the forwarding engine on the switch flow module for providing an interface to communicate a data packet to an external device according to a port number provided by the forwarding engine; wherein the forwarding engine receives a network address identifier in a data packet at an I/O port for transmission to a destination I/O port, and determines an internal port number for routing by the switch engine out from the switch flow module, according to a router table which maps internal port numbers of the switch flow module with destination I/O ports corresponding to peripheral devices connected to a network; and wherein on an ingress side, a FIFO queue is configured to receive data packets via an input serializer/deserializer interface at a given bit rate, and transmits the data packet outside of the switch flow module to another switch flow module designated according to the router table and responsive to a grant from the designated switch flow module upon the raising of a real-time request; and wherein on an egress side, a sequencer is configured to receive multiple independent data packets at its input responsive to requests for connection from external switch flow modules connectable via an internal switch matrix, and to sequentially transmit each data packet to a corresponding port of an external device.
