ABSTRACT:
An asynchronous (ATM) exchange system comprises a plurality of input buffers each for receiving data cells from an input cell highway to temporarily store the data cells, a plurality of output buffers each for temporarily storing data cells to transmit the data cells to an output cell highway, and an array of ATM switches each for transferring data cells from one of the input buffers to one of the output buffers. The amount of data cells stored in each output buffer is monitored by an output buffer monitor and used for controlling the transfer rate of the data cells from each input buffers, thereby increasing durability of the ATM exchange system against a burst signal or buffer congestion.
