A switching network for multiple computer systems is disclosed which utilises pairs of multi-port switches (S 1 -S 4 ) and (preferably) less complex switches (S 5 -S 7 ). The multi-port switches are arranged in pairs with a computer of the multiple computer system being able to be connected to each port of each multi-port switch except for one port. That one port of each multi-port switch is connected to a single one of the less complex switches. All the less complex switches are arranged in a twin branch multi-level tree structure. The arrangement overcomes bottlenecks arising from the serial interconnection of multi-port switches.
