ABSTRACT:
A switch configurable communication network among many users, comprising forwarding units which individually present a communication tree with their ports as terminal nodes and a cross-point switch for connecting one user to another, for connecting users to a forwarding unit and for connecting one forwarding unit to another, whereby the cross-point switch can configure two users in point-to-point communication and can form modular tree subnetworks among the users by using the forwarding units.
