ABSTRACT:
In a packet switching system of the present invention, a packet handler is facilitated for each incoming circuit to the switching system. The packet handler analyzes the header of each incoming packet from the correspondent circuit and decides the outgoing route of the packet. The packet is then sent out to an outgoing circuit of the decided route, the rest of it including the data field not being stored in the switching system, through a conventional cross-point switch for circuit-switching. Thus, elimination of storing the whole packet raises the efficiency of packet processing and shortens the processing delay. The use of a cross-point switch enables the functional sharing of the system by circuit-switched calls and packet-switched calls.
