In a packet switching system having input ports (20-1-1 to 20-8-8) supplied with input packets and output ports (21-1-1 to 21-8-8) producing output packets, each of time stampers (22-1-1 to 22-8-8) connected to the input ports assigns a time stamp to the input packet supplied thereto to produce a time stamped packet. Connected to the time stampers, each of primary switches (23-1 to 23-8) carries out a primary switching operation on the time stamped packets supplied thereto so as to connect input lines thereof and output lines thereof in one-to-one correspondence to produce primary switched packets. Connected to the primary switches in a cross link connection fashion, each of secondary switches (24-1 to 24-8) carries out a secondary switching operation on the primary switched packets on the basis of destination addresses thereof in sequence to produce secondary switched packets. Connected to the secondary switches in the cross link connection fashion, each of tertiary switches (25-1 to 25-8) corrects sequence of the secondary switched packets on the basis of the time stamps assigned thereto to produce sequence corrected packets and then carries out a tertiary switching operation on the sequence corrected packets on the basis of the destination addresses thereof to produce tertiary switched packets. Each output port produces each tertiary switched packet as each output port.

A multilayer ATM communication equipment includes a port VPI-VCI table, an ATM switch, an MAC frame forming section, a flow VPI-VCI table, a flow identification section, a port MAC address table, and an MAC switch section. The port VPI-VCI table stores transfer route information and input/output port information. The ATM switch transfers the ATM cell from the output port corresponding to the output port information on the basis of the transfer route information and the input port number. The MAC frame forming section forms an MAC frame on the basis of the transfer route information. The flow VPI-VCI table stores flow information and transfer output information. The flow identification section transfers the MAC frame on the basis of the transfer output information. The port MAC address table stores the destination information of the MAC frame and transfer output information. When transfer output information is stored in the port MAC address table, the MAC switch section transfers the MAC frame on the basis of the transfer output information. Otherwise, the MAC switch section assigns a new input port, notifies a transmission-side switch of the flow information and the input port, sets a shortcut path, and transfers the MAC frame from the notified output port.

A multiport frame exchange system is disclosed having a plurality of input and output lines and which outputs frame data inputted from these input and output lines to desired input and output lines based on frame header information. This multiport frame exchange system is composed of input frame buffers provided for each input line that store inputted frames; output frame buffers provided for each output line that store and output output frames; a header processor that processes the headers of frames; and a self-routing section that connects the input frame buffers, the output frame buffers, and the header processor.

A packet switching system includes a plurality of incoming channels, through which packets arrive. The system has a circuit providing arrival time information for header information of respective packets. The arrival time information is then copied by a copying circuit. The copied information is accumulated in an arrival time information accumulating circuit in an order of the arrival time. On the other hand, the packet is accumulated by a packet accumulating circuit in an order of the arrival time. A control circuit is adapted to output the packets accumulated in the packet accumulating circuit and having the arrival time information consistent with the arrival time information accumulated at the leading end of the arrival time information accumulating circuit. The packets are output from the packet accumulating circuit according to destinations contained in the header information thereof through a plurality of outgoing channels for feeding out the routed packets.
