ABSTRACT:
Software inverse multiplexing within an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communication network is provided by a first ATM switch receiving a stream of ATM cells over a high bandwidth communication link. A Segmentation and Re-assembly (SAR) module associated with the first ATM switch thereafter reassembles the received ATM cells into corresponding user packets. Control data identifying the sequence of assembled user packets are added to each user packet and de-assembled into corresponding ATM cells. The de-assembled ATM cells are then communicated over a plurality of low bandwidth communication links to a second ATM switch. The second ATM switch receives the transmitted ATM cells over said low bandwidth communications links. A SAR module associated with the second ATM switch thereafter reassembles the received ATM cells into corresponding user packets. Utilizing the enclosed control data, received user packets are re-synchronized into their original sequence. The control data are then removed and the user packets are de-assembled back into corresponding ATM cells. The de-assembled ATM cells are then communicated over an outgoing high bandwidth communication link.
