ABSTRACT:
A system for encapsulating ATM cells into larger data packets to be transmitted through a broadband communications system includes an ATM cell receiver (410), a data packet formatter (430), a buffer (434), and a data packet formatter controller (438). The ATM cell receiver (410) receives ATM cells and sends them to the buffer (434) which is included within the data packet formatter (430). Data packet formatter controller (438) controls the insertion of ATM cells into the buffer (434), and also optionally compresses the ATM cells to increase the apparent bandwidth of the system.
