Abstract
A plurality of gateway nodes for connecting high- and low-speed networks as multiplex transmission lines include buffers for signal transmission and reception, communication ICs, and control units. A priority order in signal processing is set for these gateway nodes. Only a gateway node which operates normally and has the highest priority executes signal transmission between the high- and low-speed networks.
