<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide frame-to-cell traffic scheduling. <P>SOLUTION: Network units 1 like access multiplexers comprise scheduling units 2, 3, 4 for scheduling frame-to-cell traffic. By making the buffering of cells in segmenting parts 3 per output interface 6, 7, 8 independent from the virtual connection 71, 72, 73 of that output interface 6, 7, 8 to be used, it is no longer necessary to have a buffer 31, 32 per virtual connection 71, 72, 73. The network unit 1 according to the invention is migrated to a large extent. The frames comprise Ethernet(R) frames, and the cells comprise asynchronous/non-asynchronous transfer mode cells. The receiving parts 2 comprise fewer queues, and the forwarding parts 4 become less complex. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
