Abstract
An assemblage of digital devices, each having serial asynchronous input and output channels, can be connected via networks of speed independent arbiter and selector switches. Certain classes of networks have desirable properties: distributed control of routing, conflict resolution, automatic identification of source network address with respect to destination, and exploitation of permissable concurrent operations.
