<p>A switching system having a control network for establishment of a path and a data switching network (101) responsive to the path determined by the control network (103) for switching data between a plurality of input ports (104, 1051 to a plurality of output ports (110, 1111. The control network (101) is a self-routing network that is fabricated utilizing electronic devices; whereas, the data switching network (103) is fabricated using photonic devices. The control network (101) is of the butterfly architecture and the data network if of the cross-bar architecture. A translation circuit (102) is utilized to convert the path determined through the self-routing control network (101) for use in determining the path through the data network (103). (FIG. 2).</p> |
