Abstract
In a method of routing cells in an asynchronous time-division multiplex switching network interconnecting input switches and output switches via switches, each input switch can be connected to each output switch via at least two paths. The transmission of a sequence of cells of a given call between one input switch, called the call input switch, and one output switch, called the call output switch, comprises the following steps: PA1 determining the set of N possible paths between the call input switch and the call output switch, PA1 setting up N sub-connections corresponding to the N possible paths, PA1 in the call input switch, systematically and equitably distributing the cells of the sequence to the N sub-connections, and PA1 in the call output switch, assembling the cells of the sequence to reconstitute the sequence.
