Abstract:
1. A time sensitive quality of service management system comprising: a communication port for communicating information; a switching circuit for providing an output communication path to said communication port and performing unscheduled cut through routing of a communication path probe, wherein said probe is discarded if said unscheduled cut through routing cannot be performed within a time constraint associated with said probe, said switching circuit coupled to said communication port; a processor for directing said switching circuit to perform unscheduled cut through routing of said communication path probe and a communication path probe update, including discarding said communication path probe and associated information if said unscheduled cut through routing of said probe cannot be performed within said time constraint, said processor coupled to said switching circuit; and a memory for storing information associated with the control of said switching circuit by said processor, said memory coupled to said processor.
