A copy fabric 11 based upon a slotted ring 15 replicates a number of copies of input packets and each copy is then routed to the required destination in a conventional point-to-point fast packet switch. The copy fabric is embodied in a fast packet switch, which can support many diverse forms of telecommunications services across a single integrated network, when communications traffic from a single source is concurrently to be transmitted to and received by many destinations. <IMAGE> |
