Packet-switching network with symmetrical topology and method of routing packets

摘要: A mesh network for routing a plurality of data segments therethrough, each the containing address information. The includes: first, second, and third switch element having respective external input into output out network; bi-directional coupling between elements; first controller interrogating information inbound element. exit pathway any segment received by is selected according to that segment, if contention exists pathway, further priority designator segment. output, free outbound destination will be as otherwise one said couplings in communication with pathway. Also, an associated method computer executable program code on readable storage medium through network.
