A high performance packet switching network that can be used to provide voice data and video communication on a large scale is disclosed. The packet switching network has a broadcast capability which makes it suitable for applications including commercial television distribution and conferencing. The basic switching capability of the network is provided by a switching module which is capable of producing a desired number of copies of a broadcast packet and routing the copied packets to desired destinations. A plurality of switching modules may be interconnected to form a packet switch. Interconnection circuitry is provided so that the number of interconnected switch modules may be varied with a minimum of recabling.read more

Performance Analysis of a Packet Switch Based on Single-Buffered Banyan Network
TL;DR: An analysis of the performance of a packet switch based on a single-buffered Banyan network shows that for balanced loads, the switching delay is low for loads below maximum throughput and the blocking at the input buffer controller isLow for reasonable buffer sizes.
Patent
Fast packet switch
TL;DR: In this paper, a communication method and packet switching system in which packets comprising logical addresses and voice/data information are communicated through the system by packet switching networks which are interconnected by high-speed digital trunks with each of the latter being directly terminated on both ends by trunk controllers during initial call setup of a particular call.
