Abstract
A communication system for transmitting a fixed-length cell converted from a variable-length information including data and a destination of the data. The system includes a cell assembly/disassembly device for performing bi-directional conversion between the variable-length information and the fixed-length cell, a routing control device for receiving the fixed-length cell converted from the variable-length information by the cell assembly/disassembly device, for analyzing the destination of the data and for controlling a routing of the fixed-length cell based on the analyzed destination, and having an error detecting device for detecting an error of the variable-length information in the fixed-length cell, and a network for connecting the cell assembly/disassembly device and the routing control device by a fixed capacity path and for connecting the routing control device to another routing control device by the fixed capacity path or a variable capacity path.
