Abstract

An ATM exchange system includes a unit for detecting management cells from among multiplexed input ATM cells, and a path creating unit dedicated to the detected management cell. The path creating unit is activated each time the management cell detecting unit detects the management cell, and thus the management cell is transferred to the corresponding outgoing line without loss in the exchange, and can be transferred thereto before a user ATM cell.
