Abstract:
1. A method for buffering a cell by a crossbar switching matrix, comprising: receiving a cell to be switched, and obtaining a jitter delay value of the cell according to a timestamp carried in the cell to be switched, wherein the timestamp is used for indicating a jitter delay of the cell to be switched in link transmission; obtaining, according to a preset mapping between a link delay value and a link, wherein the link delay value corresponds to a link transmitting the cell to be switched; obtaining a buffer address of a buffered cell in a first out-buffer sequence in a buffering unit; obtaining an out-buffer time difference between the cell to be switched and the buffered cell in the first out-buffer sequence according to the jitter delay value and the link delay value; and obtaining a buffer address of the cell to be switched in the buffering unit according to the out-buffer time difference and the buffer address of the buffered cell in the first out-buffer sequence.
