ABSTRACT:
A LAN switch architecture has a hybrid switch fabric which combines crossbar and time division multiplexed bus architecture and allows next-available transmit channel routing and associative output-port routing. The LAN switch architecture has multiple port groups with multiple device ports, a switching fabric for facilitating communication between device ports in different port groups and a controller for controlling the switching fabric. Each of the multiple port groups comprises a communication channel for interconnecting the port group to the switching fabric.
