A communication system capable of reliably recovering its communication functions on its own when a fault occurs, and which can be used to construct a highly flexible network. This communication system is configured so that a plurality of node devices (12) supporting data generating sources are connected via communication paths (13) that use ATM technology to a plurality of center devices (11), just as if it possessed distributed ATM switch functions. When the communication paths (13) between two (2) node devices (12-2 and 12-3) are cut, the center device (11-2) detects the fault point, and autonomously recovers communication functions by transferring the node device (12-2) originally under its control to the control of the center device (11-1). When this happens, the center device 11-2) cannot communicate via the communication paths (13) due to the fault, and must use a local communication means such as a wide area network (16) to communicate with the center device (11-1).

L'invention est un système de communication pouvant recouvrer de lui-même ses fonctions de communication de façon fiable en cas de défaillance et qui peut être utilisé pour construire un réseau très souple. Ce système de communication est configuré de façon qu'une pluralité de dispositifs nodaux (12) associée à des sources génératrices de données soit connectée, via des trajets de communication MTA (13), à une pluralité de dispositifs centraux (11), comme si elle possédait les fonctions d'un commutateur MTA réparti. Quand les trajets de communication (13) entre deux (2) dispositifs nodaux (12-2 et 12-3) sont bloqués, le dispositif central (11-2) localise le point de défaillance et recouvre ses fonctions de communication de façon autonome en transférant sous le contrôle du dispositif central (11-1) le dispositif nodal (12-2) qui était sous son contrôle à l'origine. Quand ceci se produit, le dispositif central (11-2) ne peut plus communiquer via les trajets de communication (13) en raison de la défaillance et doit utiliser un dispositif de communication local tel qu'un réseau longue distance (16) pour communiquer avec le dispositif central (11-1).
