ABSTRACT:
A data transmission network is disclosed which includes a plurality of nodes each adapted to send a packet of data. A controller, or hub, is connected to each of the plurality of nodes for immediately relaying a packet from one of the nodes to a desired destination when it is the only packet received by the controller means. However, when a plurality of packets are simultaneously received by the controller from plural nodes, the controller immediately relays a selected packet, and temporarily stores the other packets for subsequent transmission.
