1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, by a switching device from a first waveguide system, first signals that convey data;

    selecting, by the switching device according to routing information, a second waveguide system from among a group of waveguide systems that are communicatively coupled to the switching device;

    routing, by the switching device, second signals to the second waveguide system, the second signals conveying at least a portion of the data, the routing of the second signals facilitating generating of electromagnetic waves by the second waveguide system that propagate along a transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path, wherein the electromagnetic waves convey at least a first portion of the data.
