METHOD OF ATD (ASYNCHRONOUS TIME DIVISION) SWITCHING OF DATA PACKETS AND AN ARRANGEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS METHOD

摘要

A method of ATD switching of data packets according to which various users are connected to a single subscriber line. By providing each data packet for each connection from a user to a receiver with a same identification code, specific information can be stored per user, such as the maximum number of packets transmitted within a time interval and the number of packets still authorized to be transmitted in a time interval. By implementing this method the switching of data packets can be monitored per user and per connection.
