<p>An ATM switching apparatus applicable to a short cell comprises an ATM-SW outputting a cell from an output path corresponding to a identifier of the cell, an interface unit, a demultiplexer, and a multiplexer connected to the ATM-SW. The interface unit sets, when a cell storing a plurality of short cells are inputted, the identifier of the cell so that the cell is transmitted from ATM-SW to the demultiplexer, and outputts the cell toward the ATM-SW. The demultiplexer receives the cell outputted from the interface unit through the ATM-SW, produces a plurality of partial fill cells, and outputs the partial fill cells, while setting an identifier of each partial fill cell so that the partial fill is outputted to the multiplexer. The multiplexier receives a plurality of the partial fill cells outputted from the demultiplexer through the ATM-SW, produces a cell storing a plurality of the short cells in accordance with the identifiers of the partial fill cells, and outputs the cell to the ATM-SW. <IMAGE></p> |
