Abstract

A multi-plane cross-point switching system in which a communication message from a sender is divided into a plurality of data links that are separately connected through autonomous cross-point switches to the receiver where the links are recombined. The cross-points in each plane are separately set by control messages transmitted along with the separate parts of the divided message.
