Abstract
Disclosed is an arbiter switch for use in forming an asynchronous network of concurrent processors where the arbiter switch receives a message from one of two input ports and transmits it to its output port. A path through the network which has been established can be cleared should it become apparent that particular path has become locked in due to a malfunction of a component in one of the nodes or switches in the network.
