Abstract
A data communication system which includes a data distributor, a communication station and a plurality of front-end-processors. These front-end-processors are connected with a computer through a common bus. The distributor distributes the data received by the station to one available front-end-processor, which preprocesses the received data, and transfers the pre-processed data to the computer through the bus. By operating the front-end-processors in parallel with respect to successively received packets of data, the processing speed of the system is increased.
