ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a packet switching device which transmits a data packet transmitted from a plurality of input communication channels to a plurality of output communication channels. This switching device comprises a switch which continuously switches between the communication means, a buffer which stores the data packets transmitted from the input communication channels, then transmits the stored packets in sequence to the switch, a detection means which detects the packet transmission status from the buffer to the switch, and a transmission control means which controls the transmission status from the buffer to the switch so that a packet is selected, among the packets stored in the buffer, to be transmitted in order to reduce the number of the output communication channels to which no packet has been designated yet. Very high throughput can be obtained by this device.
