Fabric (Switched) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. Think of a multiconnection device in which a mesh of interconnections connects inputs on one side with outputs on the other side. Any input can be switched to any output almost instantaneously. This is a switching fabric. Now reduce it down to fit on a thumbnail-size (or smaller) chip. Switching fabrics allow fast internetwork connections between devices in LAN environments, on network backbones, or in Internet core networks. Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
