Abstract
In an integrated circuit/packet switching network comprising a plurality of nodes and one or more common access loops for inter-node network, an integrated circuit/packet switching system comprises a fixed time cycle frame format allotted to the loop or loops. Each of the nodes functions in accordance with the frame format to assemble one or more composite packets for each destination node from a plurality of circuit- and packet-switched calls designated to said each destination node and to send the assembled composite packet or packets on the loop or loops for each frame cycle time. Each node also functions in accordance with the frame format to extract self-designated composite packets among composite packets on the loop or loops and to disassemble the extracted composite packets into the constituent circuit- and packet-switched calls.
