A method for scheduling unicast and multicast traffic in an interconnecting fabric performs within each time slot the following steps. First a multicast cell scheduling ( 61 ) and independently thereof a unicast cell scheduling ( 62 ) is performed. Then, the unicast cell schedule and the multicast cell schedule are merged to a merged schedule ( 63 ), wherein in the case a scheduled connection cannot be included in the merged schedule the scheduled connection is included in the merged schedule in a later time slot ( 66, 63 ).
