A data queue controlling apparatus including a plurality of input interfaces and a method of controlling the data queue controlling apparatus is provided. The apparatus performs effective data queue controlling without use of a single common data queue and solves the problems in LSI yield, operation frequency and power consumption by providing a plurality of data queues which are less than the number of input interfaces and also providing a means for equally sharing the packet data inputted from each input interface to each data queue.

What is claimed is: 1. A data queue controlling apparatus comprising: a first plurality of input interfaces providing data; a first plurality of buffers that receives data from the first plurality of input interfaces respectively; a first plurality of multiplexers to receive the data from the first plurality of input interfaces and a first priority controller that selectively outputs the data stored in the first plurality of data buffers; a plurality of sustaining buffers with each of the sustaining buffers coupled to a respective one of the first plurality of multiplexers and that concatenates a plurality of data in a packet data; a second plurality less than the first plurality of buffers that stores the packet data from the one of the plurality of sustaining buffer groups; and a second plurality of multiplexers and a second priority controller to selectively output the data stored in the one of the second plurality of buffers. 2. The data queue controlling apparatus described in the claim 1 further comprising M buffers, where M is a natural number equal to or lamer than 2, for coupling a plurality of data groups which are respectively connected to the input interfaces to output the coupled data to respective data queue means. 3. The data queue controlling apparatus described in claim 1, including a plurality of N:1, where N is a natural number equal to or lamer than 2 but equal to or less than M, selecting devices. 4. An information processing apparatus, comprising: a data queue controlling apparatus adapted to receive data from a first plurality of interfaces; a first plurality of buffers that receives data from the first plurality of input interfaces respectively; a first plurality of multiplexers to receive the data from the first plurality of input interfaces and a first priority controller that selectively outputs the data stored in the first plurality of data buffers; a plurality of sustaining buffers with each of the sustaining buffers coupled to a respective one of the first plurality of multiplexers and that couples a plurality of data in a packet data; a second plurality less than the first plurality of buffers that stores the packet data from the one of the plurality of sustaining buffer groups; a storing device adapted to store the received data to the second plurality less than the first plurality of data buffers; and a second plurality of multiplexers and a second priority controller to devices selectively output the data stored in the one of the second plurality of data buffers in order to process outputs from the data queue controlling apparatus. 5. A data queue controlling method comprising: receiving data from a first plurality of input interfaces; storing the received data in one of a first plurality of data buffers from the first plurality of input interfaces respectively; selectively outputting the data stored in the first plurality of data buffers; storing the selected data in a plurality of sustaining buffers; concatenating a plurality of data in a packet data in the one of the plurality of sustaining buffers; storing the packet data in one of a second plurality less that the first plurality of data buffers from the one of the plurality of sustaining buffer groups; and selectively outputting the data stored in the one of the second plurality less than the first plurality of data buffers.
