ABSTRACT:
A switching apparatus provides adaptive high-speed operation in an asynchronous transport mode (ATM) network. The switching apparatus includes a number of switch units, with each switch unit further including storage regions corresponding to other switch units. The switching apparatus has a writing phase in which a first switch unit stores received data in its storage region that corresponds to a second switch unit. During the writing phase, data is received by the first switch unit for later output by a second switch unit. Then, in a reading phase, the second switch unit retrieves the stored data from its corresponding storage region in the first switch unit and then outputs the retrieved data. In both phases, the switch units operate simultaneously under control of a control unit which monitors traffic flow conditions and selects data transfer paths within the switch to achieve optimum data throughput.
