Title:
METHOD OF CONTROLLING DATA BYTE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS6135652
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Service to a plurality of channels (13, 15, 17) served by packet switches (28) at nodes (10, 110) interconnected through a common carrier facility (11) is achieved by controlling the quantity of data sent from any one channel to another. When data arrives at a node from a channel, address (62) is entered in line in the first of two channel address queues (102, 104) and the data is entered in a separate data queue. Each channel address is read from the first queue, a predetermined number of data bytes is read from the corresponding data queue (92, 94, 96) and sent in a frame to a distant node. Thereafter, the channel address is entered at the end of the second, lower priority queue. The frame may have data bytes from other first queue channels but the frame length is limited either by a predetermined number of bytes or when no more channel addresses remain in the first queue. When no channel addresses remain in the first queue, a new frame is started by reading a channel address from the lower priority second queue. A frame may have data from a data queue corresponding to a channel address in the second queue followed by data from a data queue corresponding to a channel in the higher priority first queue.
