An information processing system of the type having a plurality of stations interconnected via transmission lines. Each station is of the type which includes control devices, processing devices which respond to information sent thereto and which generate information to be sent to other processing devices at other stations, and communicating devices for transmitting and receiving information to and from the stations. In the information processing system, transmission and reception between two adjacent stations is independent of transmission and reception between any two other adjacent stations. A system is disclosed which prevents the stoppage of information transmission as a result of a build up of information at other than the given station. Apparatus is provided for detecting when a stagnation condition occurs and for temporarily increasing the length of the buffer registers in the communicating devices of the stations. Also, apparatus is provided for preventing any newly generated information at the processing devices from being removed.
