Overview:

Current packet dispatching algorithms for next generation network nodes (switches/routers), in the majority of cases, involve the request-grant-accept handshaking scheme with many iterations and the effect of desynchronization of arbitration pointers. For high-performance switches and routers the Clos switching fabric is very attractive because of its modular architecture and scalability. It is almost impossible to implement the algorithms with multiple phase iterations in the three-stage Clos-network environment with currently available technologies, as the arbitration signals need to pass through the SERDES links several times, and the delay is too long.
