Abstract
In a transmission system wherein redundant message cells, routed in the course of virtual connections according to the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) transmission method, are respectively transmitted via redundant transmission paths, a rejection of message cells belonging to a low-priority connection is permitted on the transmission paths to form the total traffic volume. To avoid an overload following the recombination of the message cell streams transmitted via the redundant transmission paths, the message cells of a connection of low priority are received by only one transmission path. For a number of connections, a selection identification character defines the transmission path by which the message cells belonging to these connections are received.
