One-bounce network
First Claim
1. A one-bounce data network comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected to each other via communication links, the network including a plurality of interconnected switch devices, said switch devices interconnected such that a message is communicated between any two switches passes over a single link from a source switch to a destination switch;
- and, the source switch concurrently sends a message to an arbitrary bounce switch which then sends the message to the destination switch.

26. A method of passing messages over a one-bounce network comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected to each other via communication links, the network including a plurality of interconnected switch devices, said switch devices interconnected such that a message communicated between any two switches passes over a single link from a source switch to a destination switch said method comprising the steps of:
-
concurrently communicating a message from said source switch to an arbitrary other switch, and communicating the message from the arbitrary other switch to the destination switch. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
