Abstract
A system may comprise a first group of switches, each switch including a first group of inputs and outputs, and a first group of controllers, each controller being independent from one another and corresponding to a switch of the first group of switches, to selectively control the switch to connect the switch's inputs with outputs. The first group of switches and controllers may be installed in a chassis. The system may comprise a second group of switches, each switch including a second group of inputs and outputs, and a second group of controllers, each controller corresponding to a switch of the second group of switches, to selectively control the switch to connect the switch's inputs with outputs. The second group of controllers may control and connect, via a group of control links, to the first group of controllers.
