Switching fabrics and fabric switches

Hi Tony

Could you explain "fabric switches" to me please? (No Big words!)

thanks"

Use the Force, Andy! Google has 2400 pages on "fabric switches" and 3200 articles on "switching fabrics." Usually associated with Brocade, fabric switches reflect the "fabric" (think: rug, carpet, weave) nature of intensively crossbar-oriented systems.

Some of these thousands of pages cited are much better descriptions than we can afford to compose here. (Which is why I favor using the Force over asking on Usenet, or Raging Bull, or SI, or Yahoo.)
