ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to message sets for use in a flexible programmable multiplexer for accessing an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. The access multiplexer uses a functional separation of line related functions and protocol related functions. Line interface cards perform line related functions. A message set for use in such a multiplexing system that uses a functional separation of line and protocol related functions is provided. The message set includes a general message, a hello message, a configuration message, a line stabilized message, an identify remote message, an identify remote acknowledgement message, a reset remote message, a report statistics message, a report statistics acknowledgement message, a loopback test message and a dynamic rate adaptation message. A flexible programmable multiplexer that uses the message set is also provided.
