ABSTRACT:
The invention is related to a switching arrangement for transporting data packets which comprise a section with data packet destination information and a payload section, to one or more output ports. The switching device is able to route the arriving data packets according to the data packet destination information, to at least one dedicated of the output ports. It comprises at each input port an input buffer with at least as many single input queues as there are output ports, and an input controller for each input port, serving for controlling the order of multiplexing the data packets from the input queues of the corresponding input buffer to the switching device. The input buffer comprises a demultiplexer for making for each of the arriving data packets an entry into those of the input queues, which are identified in the packet destination information of the corresponding data packet, whereby each input controller is designed to allow simultaneous transmission of those data packets whose entries are located in different input queues and whose payload sections have identical content.
