Abstract

A circuit size of a multiplexing apparatus is reduced. In terminal interface unitsto, data from a terminal is received by each of terminal-side line interface sub-unit, and then celluralized by a cell assembly/disassembly sub-unit. The cell is transmitted directly to a priority control unit. In the priority control unit, the cell received from each of the terminal interface unitstois stored in each of priority control buffers, and then sent to an ATM network interface unitin the order of priorities sequentially. The cell is synchronized with a line of an ATM networkby a network synchronizing sub-unit, and transmitted to the line of the ATM network. With this constitution, an internal bus is unnecessary.
