ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a local network operating in the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), comprising a plurality of stations (10) which are each coupled to transmitting and receiving ring lines (16, 19) via a network interface (9) which comprises at least one switch (11) and which stations are provided for transmitting cells. The switch (11) is arranged for relaying a user cell containing information relating to the user from a receiving ring line (16) to the transmitting ring line (19) and/or to the station (10) or from a station (10) to the transmitting ring line (19) in response to status information. Furthermore, the switch is used for relaying a control cell, used at least for storing switching functions, from a receiving ring line (16) to the transmitting ring line (19) and/or to a controller (24) controlling the switch (11) and/or to the station (10), or from the controller (24) to the transmitting ring line (19) and/or to the station (10), or from the station (10) to the transmitting ring line (19) and/or to the controller (24).
