Disclosed is a packet switching system having, on its input side, m-sorting modules each having sorting circuitry for sorting a plurality of packets entered simultaneously according to the destination address; dropping circuitry for, if there are a plurality of competing packets having the same destination address among the packets sorted by the sorting circuitry, keep- ing one of the competing packets and dropping the rest to in- ferior on sorting module; and routing circuitry for routing each packet passed by the dropping circuitry on the basis of the destination address. The m-sorting modules are so sequentially connected as to make the dropped output of the dropping circuitry of a superior sorting module the input to the sorting circuitry of the immediately inferior sorting module. Buffer modules tem- porarily store the packets entered from the routing circuitry of the m-sorting modules and supply them to output lines of the packet switching system on a first-in first-out basis, each buffer module being connected to an output line corresponding to the destination address. The plurality of packets are entered into the highest-positioned sorting module, non-competing packets are distributed from the highest-positioned sorting module to the buffer modules corresponding to the output lines indicated by the destination addresses, and k-competing packets are entered into the same buffer module with prescribed delays in a sequence from the highest-positioned sorting module to the k-th sorting module.
