METHOD FOR STATISTICAL MULTIPLEXING

摘要

A method for statistical multiplexing wherein message cells transmitted according to an asynchronous transfer mode are supplied to a multiplexer on input lines and are forwarded on an output line. In the method, since an average message cell rate and a maximum number of message cells briefly exceeding the average message cell rate are reserved for each connection, a message cell rate is assured for each connection that is at least as high as the average message cell rate given a limited delay.
