Device and method for forwarding a message
First Claim
1. A method of forwarding a message in a device, the device comprising an autonomous switching means comprising at least one output, and at least one input comprising a storage means provided with an input and an output, the method comprising:
- formulating a coefficient representative of the ratio of the input clock gating frequency and output clock gating frequency;
comparing the quantity of data stored in the storage means of the input at which the message arrives to the product of the coefficient and the length of the message, and forwarding the message when the quantity of data stored in the storage means of the input at which the message arrives is greater than the product of the coefficient times the length of the message.

Abstract
Method of triggering the forwarding of a message in a device including an autonomous switching means including at least one input including a storage means provided with an input and an output. In this process, a coefficient representative of the ratio of the input clock gating frequency and output clock gating frequency is formulated, the quantity of data stored in the storage means of the input at which the said message arrives is compared with the product of the coefficient and of the length of the message, and the triggering is decided when the quantity of data stored in the storage means of the input at which the message arrives is greater than the product of the coefficient times the length of the message.

9. A device for forwarding a message comprising:
-
an autonomous switching means;
at least one input, the input comprising a storage means provided with an input and an output;
a means for formulating a coefficient representative of the ratio of the input clock gating frequency and output clock gating frequency of an output on which the message is forwarded;
a means of comparing the quantity of data stored in the storage means of the input at which the message arrives with the product of the coefficient and the length of the message, calculated by a means of calculation; and
a means of triggering the forwarding of the message when the means of comparison detects a quantity of data stored in the storage means of the input at which the message arrives that is greater than the product of the coefficient times the length of the message. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
