Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for controlling packet flow in a multi-stage switch. According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for controlling packet flow in a multi-stage switch, including: one or more source line cards configured to receive one or more packets, and to transfer the one or more packets to a switch fabric including a plurality of switch modules forming one or more switching stages such that the one or more packets are transferred along different switching paths in the switch fabric; and a destination line card configured to receive the one or more packets output from the switch fabric, and to transfer Acknowledge (ACK) messages for informing that the packets have been received, to the source line cards, in a predetermined time period.
