A data processing system comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes (10), each node (10) comprising a media processor (12), and one or more ports (14, 16), each port (14, 16) connected to a respective media processor (12). Each port (14, 16) is configured to be active or passive, an active port (14, 16) being arranged, upon receipt of data, to transfer the received data to its output, a passive input port (14) being arranged, upon receipt of data, to retain the received data and to transmit the received data to its output when the received data reaches a specific size, and a passive output port (16) being arranged to trigger the receipt of data when the data capacity of the output port (16) reaches a specific size. |
