ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for configuring a network termination unit for the packet-by-packet asynchronous transfer mode transmission of data. According to said method data subdivided into cells and assembled into packets are transmitted either at a constant data rate (CBR), for example in the case of voice or video data, or at a non-constant data rate (UBR). The data cells or packets are received and transmitted via the network termination unit, which constitutes an interface between a transmission line and data terminal. The number of data cells contained in each transmitted or received data packet is determined in the network unit (10) and from this number it is determined whether the ATM connection is carried out at a constant (CBR) or non-constant (UBR) data rate. The data packets of a CBR connection have processing priority over the data packets of a UBR connection.
