Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Datenpaketvermittlung

摘要

Several sub-switching units are provided in a switching apparatus for routing data packets, which according to the transmission protocol used have protocol packet data in addition to utilizable data in each case. In order to be able to centrally perform the processing work in connection with routing the data packets in a few and particularly in a single sub-switching unit, switching packet data are produced in at least one first sub-switching unit and assigned to the data packets. The switching packet data are analyzed in another second sub-switching unit and used for routing or processing the data packets. In this way, tasks can be centralized on a few and particularly on a single sub-switching unit.
