Abstract
In a variable length switch for exchanging CPS-packets by AAL , an effective variable length packet switch without limiting capacitance of a switching section is provided when the CPS-packets are loaded on an ATM cell and exchanged. An interface section receives the ATM cell in which the CPS-packets are multiplexed and packed, disassembles the received ATM cell and demultiplexes and unpacks the CPS-packets loaded on the ATM cell. When output paths of the plurality of the CPS-packets are identical, the CPS-packets are transferred by multiplexing and packing them in the same connection. In an interface - to -N on a transmission side, a cell transferred from the switching section is disassembled, and the CPS-packet are multiplexed and packed in a cell corresponding to an output path of the CPS-packets.
