A transit switch of an asynchronous network, notably an ATM network, for the handling of information elements in the form of packets having a header part for the identification of a destination and a information element part, having a plurality of input junctors supplied with packets by a plurality of associated input channels, there are also a plurality of output junctors connected to the input junctors by a synchronous bus, a bus allocator circuit is connected to the input junctors and to the bus. The switch is arranged so that each input junctor transfers a received packet to at least one output junctor which is identified from the header part of the packet to be transferred.
