Abstract
A switch that makes it possible in real-time to determine paths that are suitable for interconnecting line termination functional entities of couplers. The switch includes a centralization device capable of centralizing information concerning the state of all the line termination functional entity situated in the couplers and a centralization device common to all couplers of the switch to centralize, in particular, all of the information centralized by the first centralizing device. Additionally, the switch is capable of establishing a routing table listing all of the active paths existing between frame relaying line termination functional entities. The switch is particularly applicable to distributors for frame relaying links.
