Abstract
The invention provides a very fast distributed frame relay switch. Each switching element is tied to each other switching element using LAN like FDDI technology. Frame relay packets arrive into the switch via lower speed TDM based trunks and can either be switched locally within the same switching element or can be switched to a remote switching element via the FDDI bus. The switching elements themselves reside in a TDM based multiplexer, thus can utilize existing TDM interfaces.
