Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the control of a data traffic flow between a user and a network obtained in a wide band by allowing a customer position equipment(CPE) to store (m) tokens or less in response to the reception of tokens, and transmitting only one stored cell to each token stored in the CPE. SOLUTION: An input from an FIFO 6 indicates a signal for indicating whether or not (n) cells or more are stored at present in the FIFO 6. When the (n) cells or more are stored at present in the FIFO 6 in response to a signal from the FIFO 6, a control signal is generated so that proper generic flow control bits can be inserted into cells to be transmitted from a physical layer interface 4 to a connected CPE 1 for suspending the formation of any new token in the connected CPE 1. The CPE 1 stores (m) tokens or less in response to the reception of the token, and only one stored cell is transmitted to each token stored in the CPE 1.
