    Abstract: In some examples, a switching system includes a plurality of fabric endpoints and a multi-stage switching fabric. A fabric endpoint of the system is configured to receive, via the switch fabric, a plurality of cell streams, wherein each cell of a cell stream of the plurality of cell stream is associated with a sequence number that defines a correct ordering of cells of the cell stream; assign subsequences of each cell stream of the plurality of cell streams to respective reorder engines of the fabric endpoint; concurrently reorder the assigned respective subsequences to produce respective ordered subsequences for the subsequences, wherein the ordered subsequences are ordered according to the correct ordering of the corresponding cell stream; interleave the respective ordered subsequences for each cell stream to produce reordered cell streams each having correctly ordered cells; and process each reordered cell stream according to the corresponding correct ordering of cells.
