Abstract
There is an ever increasing demand for high throughput, cost effective, broadband data switching networks, as demonstrated by the explosive growth in the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) equipment industry. Future networks must handle thousands of high bandwidth channels, implying an aggregate capacity in the terabit/second regime [1]. These requirements will exceed the ability of VLSI based switching technology.
