Table 3.4 Packet Ordering Rules in the PES64H16G2

Arbitration

Packets stored in the ingress buffers are subject to arbitration as they are moved towards the egress
port. The switch core performs all packet arbitration functions in the switch. Architecturally, arbitration is
done at the egress ports. Each port has a dedicated arbitration configuration as programmed in the port's
VC Capability Structure.
Packets undergo two levels of arbitration at an egress port:
– Port arbitration within a VC
– VC arbitration for access to the egress link
Figure 3.2 shows the architectural model of arbitration. The following sub-sections describe arbitration in
detail.
