Packet switching method with time-based routing

摘要: This invention describes a method for transmitting and forwarding packets over switching network using time information. The switches maintain common reference, which is obtained either from an external source (such as GPS—Global Positioning System) or generated distributed internally. intervals are arranged in simple periodicity complex (like seconds minutes of clock). A data packet that arrives to input port switched output based on its order position the interval it at switch. duration can be longer than required packet, case exact predetermined. provides congestion-free capacity their corresponding links reserved advance. Furthermore, such reach destination, one more (i.e., multicast) predefined intervals, guarantees delay jitter smaller equal
