METHOD FOR ROUTING PACKETS OF VARIABLE LENGTH TRANSPORTED IN ATM CELLS

摘要

The invention concerns a method for routing packets of variable length, called AAL packets, transported in ATM cells, each ATM cell belonging to an ATM level virtual conduit and to an ATM level virtual circuit included in said virtual conduit and each packet belonging to a virtual connection. The invention is characterised in that it consists in routing each packet depending on its being part of a AAL virtual conduit included in the virtual circuit of the ATM cells which transport them and comprising a group of virtual connections.
