  • Aurora PCI-SB StarFabric, G-10 PCI-SB StarFabric PCI Interface Card Installation Guide Path Routing A mechanism used to transmit or route data frames through the switch fabric based on the relative path the data must take to travel from the source node to the destination or target node. Typically, path routing is able to dynamically select the best path to take between two nodes based on a user-defined algo- rithm. PCI Refers to Peripheral Component Interconnect. It is an open bus standard that allows for high speed communication (up to 66 MHz and 64 bits) between peripherals and the system host CPU. PMC-SB Card Refers to the Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect form factor card from Aurora Technol
