ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for data stream distribution with conflict resolution, whereby data streams are transmitted bi-directionally, such that first data stream connection units (104a-104n) and second data stream connection units (105a-105m) serve as both input and output connections. A distribution unit (100), essentially comprises a matrix switching unit (101), first intermediate buffer units (106a-106n) and second intermediate buffer units (107a-107m). Information is firstly evaluated in the cell head, which, together with information on the availability of intermediate buffer units, determine when a present data stream cell may be transmitted to a relevant output connection unit.
