Abstract
A plurality of input lines are respectively connected to separate multiplexing units that are connected in cascade by cascading lines. Select signals are transferred in parallel with fixed length packets over the cascading lines. Each separate multiplexing unit is responsive to a select signal received from the cascading line to select one of fixed length packets received over the corresponding input line and the upstream cascading line and output it over the downstream cascading line. The most downstream separate multiplexing unit provides a multiplexed output of the input lines.
