  • Method for re-routing signals in a switch network
    Patent number: 6643268
    Abstract: A method (100) for identifying re-routing path solutions for signals within a switch network (10). The path solutions are subject to special constraints that provide the most desired solution for a user. The method applies an algorithm that works by transforming a global problem (110) into many individual sub-problems (112). The algorithm then solves the individual sub-problems (112) systematically according to desired constraints until the global solution is met (120). The method finds a unique state for each switch such that the overall requirements of the system are met.
