Abstract
A multiplexing system for converting a plurality of variable-length burst data streams supplied from a plurality of data suppliers into a multiplexed averaged-transfer-rate fixed-length packet stream. Within each output period, for each of the input buffers of a multiplexer, a virtual data quantity in the input buffer at the time t.sub.n is calculated by using the length of each output period and average supply rates at time t.sub.n-1 which are also supplied from the data suppliers. A predetermined amount of data is supplied to a header adder from one of the input buffers which stores data not less than the predetermined amount during the output period from time t.sub.n to time t.sub.n+1.
