Abstract

A digital switching system is provided for coupling with one or more external specific physical interface data signal sources regardless of signal protocol, and includes input subsystems for receiving and processing the data signal sources into data cells, a data multiplexer for multiplexing the processed data, an addressable memory for storing the multiplexed data, a queue controller for creating and managing memory queues which store the multiplexed data, a data demultiplexer for demultiplexing the stored multiplexed data in response to the queue controller, and output processors for outputting the demultiplexed data.
