FOFF (Full Ordered Frames First)
Input Algorithm N FIFO queues corresponding to the N output flows Spread each flow uniformly: if last packet was sent to
middle port k, send next to k+1. Every N time-slots, pick a flow:
- If full frame exists, pick it and spread like UFS - Else if all frames are partial, pick one in round-robin order and send it

FOFF Properties
Property 1: FOFF maintains packet order.
Property 2: FOFF has O(1) complexity.
Property 3: Congestion buffers operate independently.
Property 4: FOFF maintains an average packet delay within constant from ideal output-queued router.
Corollary: FOFF has 100% throughput for any adversarial traffic.

At each time-slot: Each transmitting linecard sends one packet Each receiving linecard receives one packet (MEMS constraint) Each transmitting group i
sends at most one packet to each receiving group j through each MEMS connecting them
In a schedule of N time-slots: Each transmitting linecard sends exactly one
packet to each receiving linecard

Summary
The load-balanced switch Does not need any centralized scheduling Can use a mesh
Using FOFF It keeps packets in order It guarantees 100% throughput
Using the hybrid electro-optical architecture It scales to high port numbers It tolerates linecard failure
