ABSTRACT:
Techniques for multi-stage switching in network elements are provided. The switching fabric can include three stages and as connections are being made through the stages, the connections are selected to minimize the difference in the number of signals between different stages. Additionally, the switching fabric can include six identical chips where pairs of chips are utilized for each of the three stages.
