Zusammenfassung:The field of the invention is that of the networking of data processing systems or computers and, more particularly, that of the switchable connection of Local Area Networks ("LANs") such as those supported by the Ethernet protocol and Wide Area Networks ("WANs") such as those supported by the Asynchronous Transfer Mode ("ATM") protocol. A process and system for flexibly switching connections of data packet flows between nodes of data processing system networks by dividing data packets into cells and logically linking these cells on multiple queues of linked pointer lists.
