ABSTRACT:
A LAN to ATM switch module includes a memory with an ATM port, a LAN port and a processor port. Each of port separately reading and writing information to/from the memory. An ATM interface is included for reading information from the ATM port and converting the information into an ATM format. The ATM interface also converts ATM format information to be delivered to the ATM port and written to the memory. A LAN interface reads information from the LAN port and converts the information into LAN format. The LAN interface also converts LAN information from a LAN packet channel bus to the LAN port, to be written to the memory. The switch module also includes a processor for reading information in the memory through the processor port. The processor determines the processing need for the information, the processor modifies the information in the memory according to the processing needed by writing to the memory through the processor port and controlling the ATM and LAN interfaces according to the processing needed.
