Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide overhead processing having low data by utilizing a reassembled cell for being outputted to a virtual circuit(VC) associated with a packet destination. SOLUTION: Each asynchronous transfer mode(ATM) cell arriving at input pots 320-i (i=1,2,...,N) has two fields, one of them includes an output port number and the other includes an input port number. A packet is reassembled. Cells from respective output buffers are subjected to service according to a designated element set (QoS) condition. The scheduling of each cell can be executed by VC merging, and the scheduling of each packet can be carried out by frame switching. In each node of a path through a network, a data stream is generated to a given destination including data from many different original sources by applying the VC merging.
