ABSTRACT:
A method and system for service interworking between an Ethernet communication network and an ATM network, in which a first network interface is operable to communicate with the Ethernet communication network using an Ethernet communication protocol. A second network interface is operable to communicate with the ATM communication network using an ATM protocol. A processing unit is in communication with the first network interface and the second network interface, in which the processing unit terminates frames received from a one of the ATM communication network and the Ethernet communication network and maps parameters corresponding to the received one of the ATM and Ethernet frames into the other of the ATM and Ethernet frames. The mapped parameters include connection configuration control plane information and data plane parameters corresponding to individual frames. The described methods can support single or multiple QoS levels.
