ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a multi-stage switch. An input or first stage receives a plurality of information signals. An output or third stage distributes a plurality of information signals. A middle or second stage establishes a plurality of signal paths between the input stage and output stage. The switch includes a routing function which selects the path between the input stage and the output stage. The routing function includes a reallocation function which reallocates existing paths to free paths to avoid signal blocking.
