ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an Ethernet switching apparatus using frame multiplexing and demultiplexing. The Ethernet switching apparatus has a plurality of frame demultiplexers, a plurality of frame multiplexers and a switch fabric chip set. The frame demultiplexers convert at least one 10 gigabits Ethernet frame into a plurality of gigabit Ethernet frames. The frame multiplexers convert a plurality of gigabit Ethernet frames into at least one 10 gigabits Ethernet frame. The switch fabric chip set is provided with input and output interfaces using the GMII, and is connected to the frame demultiplexers and the frame multiplexers in the GMII format. The switch fabric chip set outputs frames through an arbitrary usable one of a plurality of GMII ports connected to a corresponding frame multiplexer if the frames are transmitted to the corresponding frame multiplexer.
