Abstract

A router is formed by an M-input, 1-output junction unit and a 1-input, N-output branching unit. Where M and N satisfy the relation of (M>N), the transfer rate of a path between the junction unit and the branching unit is made the total sum of the transfer rates of inputs of IN1 to INM, whereby N times faster transfer becomes possible.
