Abstract: In a network system providing communication through a multi-channel transmission path with n channels, N buffers in each of plural node devices temporarily store signals for transmission through the n channels. A channel control device alters the channels through which the signals from the buffers are sent so that the signals from plural buffers cannot be sent concurrently to the same channel. A buffer control device controls the read out of signals from the buffers through the n channels selected for signal transmission synchronously with the channel alteration. A node device receiving signals from another node device includes reception devices that receive signals from the n channels, respectively.

Abstract: A source terminal equipment connected to a node device transmits a packet by appending a section for designating the channel to be used upon relaying the packet by the node device to the packet. The relaying node device determines the channel used upon outputting the packet by looking up the value in the section for designation of the channel. The source terminal equipment transmits the packet by appending relaying number information indicating the number of relayings of the packet to the packet. Each node device looks up the relaying number information upon looking up the value in the section for designation of the channel. When each node device outputs a packet to a terminal equipment using a separation device for separating the packet toward the sub transmission path side, the node devices determines, based on the relaying number information, whether or not it separates the packet.

Abstract: In a network system for effecting signal transmission by plural channels, there are provided plural channel alteration units each of which is adapted to receive signals through plural channels and to output each of the signals entered by said plural channels in any of plural channels. Transmission control is executed in such a manner that mutually proximate plural signals, which have to be outputted by a designated same channel among the plural channels from a first one of the plural channel alteration units, are entered through respectively different channels into the first channel alteration unit. As the first channel alteration unit receives the plural signals by different channels, there can be resolved the drawback of a long waiting time for the output of the signals by a desired channel, encountered in case the signals are entered by a signal channel.
