Abstract

The present invention provides interconnection links between modules in a switch node. A redundant physical link couples the modules and a dual state data packet routing tag is used to identify which link is active. A standard tag received from an application device is converted to the dual state data packet routing tag, after the data leaves the application device so the interconnection link routing is essentially invisible to the application layer.
