Abstract

A multi-stage circuit switched network for improving connection establishment using intelligent switching devices. As a transmission makes its way through the network stages, the probability of connecting to a destination increases, i.e., the chance of encountering a blocked device output is decreased. This is opposite of most traditional networks, whose probability for success diminishes with every stage in the connection sequence.
