ABSTRACT:
A large high capacity switch is provided for a communication network which is constructed from a network of smaller switches. Data is fragmented into fixed sized cells and the cells of a traffic flow are aggregated by grouping cells to form larger yet uniform units of information transfer. The groups are transmitted synchronously and in parallel to increase the effective bandwidth of information transfer.
