<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the entire consideration for all paths in order to obtain an optimum path retrieval as to each packet. SOLUTION: A packet exchange 10A to switch a packet from at least one input line to a plurality of output lines is provided with a plurality of input interfaces 12 each having one input port connecting to the input line and one output port, a network 14A to switch a plurality of input ports 17 into a plurality of output ports 19, a plurality of output modules 16 and an out-band controller 20 multi-casting at least one packet from the input line to a large number of output lines, each output module has plural inputs and each input is connected to each output port and has a plurality of outputs, a each of outputs of the output module is connected to each output line and a pipeline 18 has a path in common to a plurality of input lines and connected to each output line.</p> |
