In a data transfer network of the present invention, each switch is designed such that when the partial address necessary for a given switch to determine another switch belonging to the succeeding stage, to which a packet is to be delivered from the given switch, is included in the first one of plural subpackets supplied to the given switch and each having the partial address, the given switch starts its switching operation upon arrival of the first subpacket. In a preferred embodiment, when the partial address necessary for the succeeding switch to make its switching operation is not included in the first subpacket, the partial addresses are exchanged between the subpackets by the preceding switch so that the said partial address is now included in the first subpacket.
