FAST PACKET ADAPTATION METHOD FOR ENSURING PACKET PORTABILITY ACROSS DIVERSIFIED SWITCHING TYPE NETWORKS

摘要

The present invention provides for fast packet information transfer from a first type switching system to a diverse, i.e., different, type switching system by adaptation of a format of each fast packet from the first type switching system to a format that is portable across the second type switching system. For example, the present invention enables transport of fast packets from a fast packet switching system across a cell relay system and vice versa, from a fast packet switching system across an asynchronous transfer mode system and vice versa, and so on.
