ABSTRACT:
An ATM transmission system transmits cell-formatted data in an asynchronous transfer mode, and aims at conducting an online path route test in the system. If one path route only is established in the system, then one or more valid cell detecting units for detecting, upon receipt of a cell enable signal indicating that a valid cell to pass through the path route has been sent, the arrival of a valid cell are provided at an optional point including an ATM switch in the path route so that the path route can be partially or entirely validity-checked. If plurality of valid path routes are established, the system provides, in addition to the valid cell detecting units, a virtual path identifier and virtual channel identifier comparing unit for comparing values of the VPI and VCI stored therein with values of a VPI and a VCI added to an arriving cell, and a path route validity check unit for partially or entirely validity-checking a path route in the ATM transmission system.
