<p>A switch having a non-blocking, self routing switching fabric (41) for switching packets from non-trunk grouped inputs to trunk grouped and non-trunk group outputs on virtual circuits that are specified by said data packets, the switching fabric (41) having a sorting network (42) coupled to a plurality of routing networks (43,44) for providing plural inputs simultaneous access to identical outputs, provision is made for preserving data packet order on each of the virtual circuits. <IMAGE></p> |
