Zusammenfassung:A communication system for the mutual interconnection of a plurality of lowe r traffic level (5 Terabit) switch nodes via a relatively higher traffic level (Petabit) connection bus, which system comprises in operative association wi th each node, a two part TDM optical data management interface, wherein a first of the two parts comprises a time slot resequencer which serves to provide f or the transmission of data from its associated node to the bus, and wherein a second of the two parts comprises a time slot specific combiner which serves for the transmission of data from the bus to its associated node, each node and the bus having independent data scheduling.
