Asynchronous transfer mode data transmitting apparatus and method used therein

摘要

An ATM data transmitting apparatus includes a data transmission scheduler and a host controller for giving instructions to the data transmission scheduler, the data transmission scheduler searches a content addressable memory for a data transmission time of a virtual channel equal to a next transmission time to be registered as a data transmission time for another virtual channel so as to schedule the data transmission at different data transmission times through the virtual channels.
