ABSTRACT:
A data switch is proposed of the type having virtual queue ingress routers interconnected with egress routers by way of a memoryless switching matrix controlled by a control unit which performs an arbitration process to schedule connections across the switch. This scheduling is performed to ensure that data cells which arrive at the ingress routers at unpredictable times are transmitted to the correct egress routers. Each ingress router further includes a queue for time division multiplex traffic, and at times when such traffic exists, the control unit overrides the arbitration process to allow the time division multiplex traffic to be transmitted through the switch.
