ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a switching system includes a backplane and multiple cards that each support multiple ASIC devices. Each ASIC device is associated with a subset of the network interfaces associated with the switching system. At least one ASIC device on a card may communicate switched data to an outgoing network interface associated with the card. Remaining ASIC devices on the card may communicate switched data to one or more other cards, using the backplane, for communication to one or more outgoing network interfaces associated with the other cards. In another embodiment, a device for switching data from a first bus to a second bus in a TDM switching system is provided. In another embodiment, a method for switching data between a plurality of network interfaces in a switching system is disclosed.
