| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for storing transmission units in interworking between networks of differing protocol structure, in particular between ATM networks and Ethernet networks, and a corresponding network communications device. In accordance with the invention a storage in a segmented memory ( 10 ) is proposed in which the segmentation is chosen in such a way that the length of a segment of the segmented memory ( 10 ) corresponds to the length of the payload of an ATM cell. The storage of transmission units in the segmented memory ( 10 ) is preferably effected in the form of lists ( 40 ) which comprise descriptor segments ( 100 ) and data segments ( 200 ). The invention facilitates efficient storage and processing of transmission units with differing data structure and length.
