<p>A method for allocating bandwidth to virtual channels by using a bandwidth allocation table in an ATM network, wherein the bandwidth allocation table has a main table divided into a multiplicity of entries and each entry has a plurality of sub-tables, checks a flag of an entry of the main table. If the flag has a first value, an index of a virtual channel recorded at the entry of the main table is read and if the flag has a second value, an entry of a sub-table at which the index of the virtual channel is recorded is detected and the index is read. Thereafter, cells of the virtual channel corresponding to the index are serviced and the above procedure is repeated until cells of a virtual channel corresponding to a last entry of the main table are serviced.</p> |
