Switch for integrated telecommunication networks
First Claim
1. A switch for telecommunication networks, comprising:
- a time division multiplexing matrix provided with a number of matrix inputs and a number of matrix outputs;
source address generators, connected to matrix outputs of the time division multiplexing matrix;
input modules, each of said input modules being adapted to generate a fixed size block, said block comprising a number of packets, arranged according to a predefined order;
matrix input processing modules, each of said matrix input processing modules being connected to an input module to receive therefrom said fixed size block, and each of said matrix input processing modules being further connected to a matrix input; and
a dynamic provisioning module, which is adapted to receive from said matrix input processing modules routing information comprised in said packets, generate, according to said routing information, a dynamic routing table, and supply said dynamic routing table to the source address generators.
