ABSTRACT:
In order to provide a switch device (100; 100′) connecting at least one first point (10, 12), in particular connecting at least one source device and/or at least another switch device, to at least one second point (20, 22, 24), in particular to at least one destination device and/or to at least another switch device, the switch device (100; 100′) comprising at least one virtual channel (30, 32), wherein it is possible to arbitrate and/or differentiate data, in particular data packets or data streams, being transmitted within the same virtual channel (30, 32), it is proposed that the switch device (100; 100′) comprises at least two ports (40, 42), in particular input ports, for receiving and/or at least two ports (50, 52), in particular output ports, for sending the data, in particular the data packet or data stream, the ports (40, 42, 50, 52) being respectively assigned to the virtual channel (30, 32).
