A data transmitting/receiving method using distributed path control in a data switching system is disclosed, including the steps of: (1) storing data by distributing a first code and a last code of a received data frame, and then reading and storing a frame header; requesting a path setting and then initializing a trial number; transmitting a setup request signal in the next time slot with a destination port address if a polling address is its own address, and thus transmitting the stored header through a data channel when the response signal received from the destination output port indicates an end of the path controlling operation; and transmitting data stored in an input buffer to the end of a frame and requesting a path release at its polling address; (2) releasing the path in case of path release request when the destination port address is its own port address; if the output port is not in use, the output buffer is not is a full state, and a communication channel is available, indicating the end of the path controlling operation in a response bus in case of the path setup request and receiving a switch path setup data to discriminate an initial code and last code of the frame, thereby transmitting the data.

Data transmitting/receiving method using distributed path control in

A fault permission network arrangement having a plurality of packet transfer units connected in a ring form. Each of the plurality of packet transfer units comprises first and second nodes, each of the first and second nodes having two inputs and two outputs, for inputting the same data from previous-stage two nodes, abandoning one of the input data and transferring the other data to subsequent-stage two nodes, and an interface unit having two inputs and two outputs connected to the first and second nodes through serial links, respectively, for transferring a packet from a communication system to the first and second nodes, the interface unit selecting one of the same two data from the first and second nodes and transferring the selected data to the communication system. According to the present invention, the selected packet can be transferred to a destination although faults occur at a plurality of nodes, respectively.
