At least one bufferless ring network includes multiple routing nodes, and at least one of the multiple routing nodes is a switching node. Two bufferless ring networks in different dimensions may intersect. The two bufferless ring networks exchange data by using switching nodes. A dedicated slot and a public slot are configured in each bufferless ring network. Only one switching node has permission to use a dedicated slot at a same moment in each bufferless ring network, the permission to use the dedicated slot is transferred successively between switching nodes in each bufferless ring network. The permission to use the dedicated slot is transferred after transmission of data in the dedicated slot is completed.
