a plurality of edge devices having a first plurality of ports configured to be coupled to the multi-stage switch fabric and a second plurality of ports configured to be coupled to a plurality of peripheral processing devices, the plurality of edge devices and the multi-stage switch fabric collectively defining a single logical entity, a first edge device from the plurality of edge devices configured to:
receive a data packet from a peripheral processing device from the plurality of peripheral processing devices,
classify the data packet, the multi-stage switch fabric configured not to classify the data packet,
determine a destination edge device from the plurality of edge devices and different than the first edge device based on classifying the data packet,
parse the data packet into a plurality of cells, the multi-stage switch fabric configured not to parse the data packet into the plurality of cells,
concatenate at least one of header information, destination information, or source information to each cell in the plurality of cells to generate a concatenated plurality of cells,
in response to receiving an indication that a request to transmit the plurality of cells has been granted based on substantially guaranteed delivery, send each cell in the concatenated plurality of cells through the multi-stage switch fabric to cause each cell in the concatenated plurality of cells to be delivered to the destination edge device.
