The invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting message information with a bus system (DB,OB) and a plurality of transmission means (SIU) for transmitting and receiving information on a plurality of transmission channels on the bus system. In accordance with the invention, a plurality of data transmission channels on the bus system are each permanently assigned to its respective transmission means and adapted for transmitting message information solely to the transmission means to which it is assiged from any one of the transmission means. In addition, a plurality of status transmission channels on the bus system are each permanently assigned to one of the transmission means and adapted for transmitting status information from any one of the transmission means, this status information indicating whether the data transmission channel permanently assigned to the same transmission means as the respective status transmission channel is engaged or unoccupied for transmitting message information. The method and apparatus are primarily intended for switching nodes for packet-switched connectons. |
