<p>A method of transmitting data within a telecommunication network (20) operating in synchronous transfer mode, the method comprising the steps of: formatting the data into one or more ATM adaptation layer packets (4), mapping each packet (4) into one or more consecutive STM time slots (44) transmitting an STM data stream (40) containing each mapped packet, and transmitting packet identifier information (CIC1, CIC2, CIC3, ...) identifying the one or more time slots (44) containing each said packet.</p> |
