ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for transferring data messages between a sending station and a receiving station through a plurality of switches in each stage and has a plurality of inputs and outputs. Each output of each switch is connected to one of the inputs on each switch in the next succeeding stage of the interconnect device. The sending station or terminal selects a plurality of routing messages, one routing signal for each stage of the MIN, and also sends a data message or signal to a selected receiving terminal. Each routing message is sacrificial and thus ends at the stage of the MIN where it actually operates on a switch. After all routing messages are sent, one for each stage of the MIN, a path exists to the receiving station and the data message or signal is transferred.
