How does SWIFT works?

Answer 1

The S.W.I.F.T. network has an architecture that supports the requirements for a fully redundant 24 x 7 secure operation that is also highly scalable.

There are a number of components to this X.25 protocol based packet switched network.

The System Control Processors are responsible for the operation of the entire system. This includes:
Session Management
Software and database distribution
Monitoring all S.W.I.F.T. hardware and software
Failure diagnostics and recovery
Dynamic allocation of system resources.
These are located at Operating Centres, 2 in the US centre and 2 at the centre in the Netherlands.

The Slice Processors are responsible for:
routing and safe storage of messages & history
safestore Acknowledgements to Regional Processors
generation of reports
delivery and non delivery messages
processing retrievals and system messages
archiving, billing and statistics.

All messages are safestored on two media. The SP's are located in the operating centres.

The Regional Processors are the entry and exit point to S.W.I.F.T. and they support Leased line, Dial up or Public Data Network connection. The most common method is primary leased line with dial-up backup. They are usually in same country as the user and provide sequence number checking and message validation, temporary safestorage, generation of Positive and Negative Acknowledgements and verification of checksums

A Computer Based Terminal (CBT) that is also referred to as a S.W.I.F.T. interface is then located at each user site. These terminals support the connectivity to the local regional processor and facilitate both manual entry of messages and the bridge to originating applications. Some more detail on the latter facility will be covered later. There are many vendors of these interface devices although S.W.I.F.T. themselves have by far the largest market share. The following is a list of some of the more common ones. A full list can be provided by S.W.I.F.T.
