Abstract
A variable length data switch and a variable length data relaying method using the variable length data switch are suited for accommodating an ATM-LAN or the like in a frame relay switch as the variable length data switch. The variable length data switch has a receiver side cell line configuring unit including a fixed length data receiving element for receiving fixed length data from a fixed length data line and a receiver side data converting element for converting the fixed length data received by the fixed length data receiving element, a variable length data switching unit for switching the variable length data from the receiver side cell line configuring unit, and a transmitter side cell line configuring unit including a transmitter side data converting element for converting the variable length data from the variable length data switching unit and a fixed length data transmitting element for transmitting converted fixed length data to a fixed length data line, thereby realizing a simple fixed length data switch.
