Usage data stream mediation method in ATM exchange

摘要

The method involves mediating packet-oriented usage data (nd) and data streams (ds) comprising mediation data (VPI, VCI) inserted in the packet head (kd), by an exchange arrangement (VE) comprising at least one input and output (El. n, Al. n). The mediation data contained in the head of the packet are detected and evaluated at an input (El. n) of an incoming data stream. The concerned usage data are mediated to a target output of the exchange arrangement in dependence on the evaluation result.
