Abstract
A self-routing data switching system is disclosed. The data switching system includes a plurality of repetitive switching matrix planes, each of which is electrically connected between a less number of input terminals and a larger number of output terminals, thereby reducing the head-of-line blocking effect. Each switching matrix plane includes a switching element array interconnected between the input ports and the output ports for determining whether the data packet from an input port can be transmitted to a designated output port. The data switching system further includes a plurality of pre-processors to manage the input timing of data packets into the switching matrix array in order to avoid output conflict.
