<p>State of the art: it is known for the individual cells of an ATM data stream to be evenly distributed in the first half of a switching network and to be fed to the destination in the second half of the switching network only. The switching network has multiple stages (three, five, seven stages); the individual stages are three-stage non-blocking modules (e.g. of the Clos type). …<??>Fundamental principle: in the operating mode described, the middle stage of the module can be left out. …<??>Advantage: the number of components within the switching network can be reduced by one third. …<IMAGE>… </p> |
