ABSTRACT:
In a switched network wherein a multiplicity of switching nodes are interconnected with communications links, communications traffic within the network is switched according to different routing trees each associated with a switching node as the destination node. The routing tree specifies a subset of incoming links from which each node receives the traffic and an outgoing link to which the node transfers the received traffic. Each switching node allocates time bands for implementing the different routing trees one at a time. However, nonoverlapping routing trees which share no common link can be implemented at the same time to increase the traffic throughput.
