Abstract
A device for interconnecting source users and destination users includes a common bus to which a memory with a plurality of independent buffers, a memory interface (22) and a central control apparatus (26) are connected. The memory interface (22) receives messages from source users, stores the messages in selected buffers and chains the buffers together. The central control apparatus generates inbound message queues and outbound message queues in response to commands which it receives from the memory interface.
