SWITCHING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC H04L12/741 H04L12/801 

FIELD: communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of switching. Transmitted data is sent by the second switch to the third switch, which belongs to a group of switches, the same for the first switch and for the second switch, when the transmitted data do not coincide with any of at least one flow element registered in the flows table of the second switch, the transmitted data is sent by the third switch, if the transmitted data coincide with any of at least one flow element registered in the flows table of the third switch, basing on the forwarding procedure defined in the coinciding flow element, when the transmitted data are received from the second switch by the interswitch communication line. Request for procedure of transmitted data forwarding to the control server is performed by the third switch, when the transmitted data do not coincide with any of at least one flow element registered in the flows table of the third switch. Flow element is registered by the control server, which determines the procedure for transferring transmitted data in the flows table of the first, the second or the third switch.

EFFECT: technical result is raising the upper limit of the number of flow elements subjected to extraction.
