NETWORK INTEGRATION NODE DEVICE AND NETWORK INTEGRATION NODE SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To flexibly and highly efficiently operate a transmission line by distributing the respective cell groups of means A and B for integrating and transmitting/receiving respective terminal signals and transmission signals to the paths of the transmission line and terminals by a cross connection means, corresponding to the transmission destinations of respective cells. ;SOLUTION: This network integration node device 1 is constituted of terminal and transmission line signal integration means 11 and 12, further the cross connection means 13 and a path setting means 14. The mans 11 integrates and transfers the respective terminal signals handled by the different plural kinds of the terminals 2, and the means 12 integrates and transmits/receives the respective transmission line signals, transferred through the different plural kinds of the paths of the transmission line 3. The cross connection means 13 distributes the cell groups integrated by the integration means 11 and 12 to the paths inside the transmission line 3, and the terminals 2 corresponding to the transmission destinations of the cells and the path- setting means 14 changes the path and communication capacity, corresponding to the traffic state of the path. Thus, by the mutual connection of an existing network and an ATM network, existing properties are effectively utilized.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
