Abstract

See full text

A nonhierarchial switching system employing a modified unified algorithm for developing link sizes for paths that connect switches in the system and routing sequences for the switches in the system, and further employing means for updating the routing sequences to minimize potential blocking in the network. In one embodiment, the modified unified algorithm develops improved link size determinations by taking advantage of traffic sensitive dynamic routing on the alternate paths available in the nonhierarchial switching system for connecting any switch to any other switch in the system. Updating of the routing sequences is achieved in that embodiment by evaluating the least loaded path for each potential connection of two switches in the system and, when appropriate, by installing the least loaded path as the second choice path in the routing sequence for that potential connection.
