Abstract:
A multiport computer network switch automatically maximizes the data throughput efficiency of the network by periodically reconfiguring the connections between the network segments connected to the ports and the buses that are interconnected by the switch. The reconfiguration is based upon a continual traffic count for each port and distributes the traffic as equally as possible between the buses. Reconfiguration may also be triggered when the data throughput efficiency of any bus drops below a predetermined level.
