ABSTRACT:
A switching device includes an input stage switch group1-1including a plurality of input lines, an output stage switch group1-3including a plurality of output lines, an intermediate stage switch group1-2arranged between the input stage switch group and the output stage switch group, and a scheduler1-22deciding a signal path of each of intermediate stage switches1-21in the intermediate stage switch group based on information input to the respective input lines. The intermediate stage switch group is divided into a plurality of groups, a plurality of the schedulers is arranged in a distributed fashion to correspond to the plurality of groups, respectively and the schedulers operate independently of one another.
