1. A switching device comprising:
- a substrate; and
multiple switches connected on the substrate to provide a switching function,wherein each respective switch of the multiple switches includes a plurality of ports that utilize a corresponding connection to another switch or to an external device, and wherein the plurality of ports of the respective switch are associated with independently sized buffering queues, wherein a size of a first buffering queue for a first port of the respective switch is different from a size of a second buffering queue for a second port of the respective switch, the size of the first buffering queue being based on the first port being a first type of port, and the size of the second buffering queue being based on the second port being a second type of port different from the first type of port.

Abstract
A switching device comprising a substrate and multiple switches connected to the substrate to provide a switching function. Each of the multiple switches includes a plurality of ports that each utilize a corresponding connection to another switch or to an external device. Each of the ports of each switch are associated with an independently sized buffering queue, with a buffering queue size of at least a first port being different than a buffering queue size of a second port.

12. A switching device comprising:
-
multiple substrates; and multiple switches provided on the multiple substrates, wherein a first switch of the multiple switches includes a plurality of ports that utilize corresponding connections to another switch or to an external device, and wherein the plurality of ports are associated with independently sized buffering queues comprising a first buffering queue for a first port of the plurality of ports, and a second buffering queue for a second port of the plurality of ports, wherein a first size of the first buffering queue is based on the first port being of a first type of port, and a second size of the second buffering queue is based on the second port being of a second type of port different from the first type of port, the first size different from the second size. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for creating a switching device, the method comprising:
-
forming multiple switches on a substrate, the multiple switches being interconnected to enable a switching function; and configuring individual ports of a first switch of the multiple switches to include individually sized buffering queues, wherein a size of a first buffering queue of a first port of the ports is different from a size of a second buffering queue of a second port of the ports, the size of the first buffering queue being based on the first port being a first type of port, and the size of the second buffering queue being based on the second port being a second type of port different from the first type of port. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
