Abstract
A packet switching equipment housing therein a plurality of pairs of an input line and an output line is provided with a monitor circuit for monitoring a packet congestion state in the packet switching equipment for each output line. When a packet congestion is detected in association with either one of the output lines, a congestion indicator is added to a packet to be delivered to the output line so as to return the packet as a congestion notice packet to an equipment as the transmission source of the packet; furthermore, the input packet is relayed via the output line to the destination equipment.
