  • Switching element with multiple operating modes and switching network incorporating a plurality of such switching elements, in particular for switching asynchronous time-division multiplex packets
    Patent number: 5210743
    Abstract: A switching element with a plurality of operating modes, in particular for switching asynchronous time-division multiplexed packets, comprises inputs, outputs, a selective retransmission device for retransmitting a packet received on one input to one or more outputs on the basis of routing data associated with the packet, and a retransmission control device determining the mode of operation of the retransmission device. The retransmission control device comprises a direct routing device adapted to receive from the label of a packet received on one input a destination indication and to decode it into an output identifier corresponding to one output at least in order to retransmit the packet to an output designated by the identifier.
