Abstract
A switching system using an asynchronous packet switching technique is provided wherein the packets may contain voice, data or video signals. The switching speed is increased through the use of a processor analyzing only specified packets, said processor being located out of the transmission path of the packets. The processor may process the specified packets at a lower speed than the transmission speed of the switching system. A header correction circuit is used to improve the quality of the transmission.
