Abstract Recently, a growing interest has been shown towards fast packet switching, ATD (asynchronous time division), or the more general term ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) in a number of companies and organizations such as CCITT and RACE. In Belgium a broadband experiment is planned using this technique. This paper focuses its attention on the central office (switching exchange). This exchange is a multistage network constructed with independent switching elements based on the self‐routing principle. The load control in the exchange is provided by a static load control mechanism applied to the logical connections granted on these links. Simulation results show that this load control mechanism can work perfectly if used in the proper environment.
