ABSTRACT:
Physical implementation of the switching fabric of a massive broadband switching network constructed from recursive 2-stage interconnection. The recursive 2-stage construction is realized through a hierarchical levels of implementation, including inside-chip implementation, PCB implementation, orthogonal packaging, interface-board packaging and fiber-array packaging. Smaller switches resulted from lower levels can be employed as the switching elements in the construction of a larger switch at a higher level of implementation. Such a hierarchical levels of implementation provides great flexibility and scalability in the physical realization of switching fabric and hence yields indefinitely large-scaled switches.
