<p>A self-routing multiple-path switching network for switching asynchronous temporal multiplexing cells comprises input ports (pi1, pi64...), output ports (po1, po64...) and switches (TSi1, TSi16...) arranged in several stages of interconnected switches. Each switch has inputs and outputs and is arranged so as to transfer a cell received at one of its inputs to one of its outputs in function of path data associated with said cell. Each elementary switch of a stage of at least one network has at least three outputs arranged in groups of outputs of one or more given outputs. In function of path data associated with a cell received at any one of its inputs, the switch (TSi1, TSi16) is arranged so as to identify an assembly of one or more said groups of outputs and to transfer said received cell to an output of each group of outputs of the selected assembly.</p> |
