Abstract
In a data switching method for switching data among data switching apparatuses arranged on an ATM network and interconnected by links along a cell data transmission path, data input to a specified one of the data switching apparatuses from an upstream-side one of the data switching apparatuses along the transmission path is sent out to a downstream-side one of the data switching apparatuses along the transmission path. A branch-system data switching operation for delivering data, which has been input to the specified data switching apparatus from at least one terminal linked to the specified data switching apparatus, to a specified one of the terminals and the data switching apparatuses, is performed separately from a trunk-system data switching operation for delivering data, which has been input to the specified data switching apparatus from the upstream-side data switching apparatus, to the downstream-side data switching apparatus and terminals.
