A method of facilitating the scheduling of a first multicast request signal of a series of multicast request signals is disclosed, wherein the first request signal is generated to enable the transmission of a multicast data cell by a source port processor to at least one destination port processor. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first request signal is received by a roster storage chip associated with a scheduler subsystem. The first request signal has associated therewith a multicast label of a first value and is adapted to schedule transmission of the first multicast cell to the at least one destination port processor at a first time. A roster of the at least one destination port processor to which the first multicast cell is destined is then generated. A dependence distance associated with the first request signal is determined. The dependence distance comprises the numerical value of the difference between a current multicast cell number (CMCN) and a previous multicast cell number (PMCN). The roster and the dependence distance are transmitted to one of the at least one scheduler chips, such transmission causing the roster and the dependence distance to occupy a second tail entry slot of a second circular buffer associated with the one of the at least one scheduler chips. The second tail entry slot has associated therewith a first multicast table index (MTI) comprising a numerical value. The scheduler chip further has associated therewith a head entry slot having associated therewith a second MTI comprising a numerical value. A first numerical parameter comprising the numerical sum of the dependence distance and the first MTI is determined. If the first numerical parameter is higher in value than the second MTI, the first request signal is arbitrated.

In Switches, switch inputs and outputs may be grouped into (e.g., small) modules called input shared blocks (or “ISBs”) and output shared blocks (or “OSBs”), respectively. Each of the switches includes three (3) main parts: (i) input shared blocks (ISBs); (ii) a central switch fabric (or “ATMCSF”); and (iii) output shared blocks (OSBs). Input link sharing at every ISB-ATMCSF interface and output link sharing at every ATMCSF-OSB interface cooperate intelligently to resolve output contention and essentially eliminate any speedup requirement in central switch fabric. Each of the proposed switches can easily scale to a large size by cascading additional input and output shared blocks (ISBs and OSBs). Instead of using a centralized scheduler to resolve input and output contention, the each of the switches applies a distributed link reservation scheme upon which cell scheduling is based. In one embodiment, a dual round robin dynamic link reservation technique, in which an input shared block (ISB) only needs its local available information to arbitrate potential modification for its own link reservation, may be used.

A mechanism is provided for scheduling tasks across multiple processor units of differing capacity. In a multiple processor unit system with processor units of disparate speeds, it is advantageous to have the most processing-intensive tasks run on the processor units with the highest capacity. All tasks are initially scheduled on the lowest capacity processor units. Because processor units with higher capacity are more likely to have idle time, these higher capacity processor units may pull one or more tasks onto themselves from the same or lower capacity processor units. A processor unit will attempt to pull tasks that utilize a larger percentage of the timeslice. When a higher capacity processor unit is overloaded or near capacity, the higher capacity processor unit may push tasks to processor units with the same or lower capacity. A processor unit will attempt to push tasks that utilize a smaller percentage of the timeslice.

A Multiservice Access Concentrator (MAC) provides traffic shaping by allocating at least one cell stream to at least one cell slot of a cell scheduling table. A cell slot and a corresponding cell stream are designated in response to a cell interrupt signal generated following cell transmission. At least one counter and at least one credit buffer are maintained, and a service class of the designated cell stream is determined. The size of the credit buffer is determined by a maximum burst cell size (MBC) of the corresponding cell stream and virtual circuit (VC). A cell of the designated cell stream is transmitted in response to the determined service class and a count of the at least one counter and contents of the at least one credit buffer. Therefore, cells are transmitted based on cell credits. A virtual circuit (VC) builds cell credit based on the sustained cell rate (SCR) of the VC. Cell credit is consumed as cells are transmitted. If no data is queued or transmitted, the cell credit builds to a maximum burst cell size (MBC). When data is queued again and credit is available, cell transmissions may burst to the peak cell rate (PCR) until credit is exhausted. Cell transmission timing is controlled using the cell interrupt signal, wherein the cell interrupt signal emulates a clock signal.
