the invention relates to a local network for data transmission permitting high throughputs, up to 600 Megabits/s for each station. An embodiment comprises: - a first asynchronous time-division multiplexed connection network (17) for establishing first semi-permanent virtual circuits; - a second asynchronous time-division multiplexed connection network (18) for establishing second semi-permanent virtual circuits used to back up first virtual circuits in which there might be data losses; - sixteen stations (1 to 16), each station comprising means (19) for exchanging information in the form of cells of fixed length, according to a communication protocol adapted to the asynchronous time-division multiplexed connection network, by allocating each cell a label designating one of the semi-permanent virtual circuits. <IMAGE> |
