<p>Transportation of low bit rate, circuit emulation data over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) connection is improved by packetizing the circuit emulation data into short packets in accordance with a packetization clock. The packetization clock is derived as a function of the ATM cell shaping clock. The short packets are then multiplexed together into a single ATM connection and transported to a receiving unit in accordance with an ATM cell shaping clock. The circuit emulation data is then extracted at the receiving unit and forwarded to the corresponding circuit emulation connection at the appropriate service rate, which is recovered based on ATM connection characteristics.</p> |
