A resequencing device for a cell switching system node particularly includes: a time stamp generator (TSG), for allocating a time stamp to each cell, a buffer memory (BM), an address memory (FSAM) for storing the address of the first sub-cell of each cell, a link memory (LM), and a circuit (CU) for recovering the address of the buffer memory containing the first sub-cell of a cell. This circuit particularly includes: a content-addressable memory, for storing a cell identifier (TSTP-OA; TSTP-OM) when a cell is placed on hold, each identifier identifying a time interval in which the waiting time will expire, and at least one output where the cell has to be sent; and a memory of markers for each output, a marker being written as soon as a cell is placed on hold, in order to mark the time interval in the course of which the waiting time of this cell will expire; the markers being read from the oldest, and enabling only those corresponding to expired time scales, when the output in question shows that it is available; and each marker possibly being common to several cells. <IMAGE>
