ABSTRACT:
A distributed telecommunications switching system (100) is disclosed. The system includes a controller (118) in a first switching system (102). The control signal is transmitted to one or more intermediate switching system (104) and a terminating switching system (106) that generates and transmits a control signal which carries a plurality of credit allowance values. The intermediate switching system (104) receives the control signal and transmits data packets to the first switching system (102) in response to a first credit allowance value. The terminating switching system (106) receives the control signal and transmits data packets to the first switching system (102) in response to a second credit allowance value. The first switching system (102) transmits data packets from the intermediate switching system (104) and the terminating switching system (106) along with its own data packets according to its credit value to a data packet switch (110).
