The present invention relates to a method for regenerating a point-to-multipoint interface on a point-to-point interface, especially in an ATM (Asyncronous Transfer Mode) network configuration, and in order to more efficiently carry out such a method, it is according to the present invention suggested that the method comprises the following steps: a) using a circuit means with a point-to-point interface for the connection thereof to a plurality of interfaces, b) using said circuit means to identify from which physical interface any cell originated, namely c) by using pre-pending byte(s) or the user defined byte(s) in the respective ATM-cell, for thereby regenerating the physical layer information which was lost at the transition between said interfaces. |
