Abstract :
A hyper-distributed switching system architecture is proposed for a large-scale asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switching system to handle heterogeneous traffic and sophisticated services for B-ISDN. The system consists of a non-intelligent module with small capacity ATM switches allocated separately at a single stage, and many independent modules have call processing. The same architecture from a small-scale system can be used in a large-scale system by connecting the ATM links among the regularly allocated ATM switches. Also proposed are a nonblocking switching configuration, efficient intermodule connection, concentrated quality control, state dependent intermodule routing, and virtual channel assignment to decrease the label conversion table size in the hyper-distributed switching system
