A flow of ATM cells to be cross-connected performs two consecutive passes through the connection network (PX) of a node. In the first pass the virtual channels of the input virtual paths (A, B, C) are distributed among intermediate virtual channel bundles (A' . . . C'') each with an overall peak bandwidth equal to that of the virtual path of origin of its contributing channels; between the first and the second pass, the virtual channels are cross-connected and the related cells are temporarily memorized, and at the same time the cell flow to be associated to an output virtual path is shaped; and in the second pass the virtual paths are cross-connected, Temporary memorization and shaping are accomplished in a device (SMS) connected between the outputs and the inputs of the connection network (PX) of the node.
