Abstract
A redundancy system for a telecommunications system is provided. The redundancy system includes one or more resources, such as circuit cards containing circuits that process data for telecommunications channels. A controller bus is used to connect a controller to the resources. Another controller bus is also used to connect another controller to the resources. The resources are each coupled to the controller bus and the other controller bus, such that a change in control between the controller and the other controller may be accomplished by transferring data for the resources from the controller bus to the other controller bus.
