ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of reorganizing cells received over data communication lines at a receive node is provided. The cells have an initial order identified by monotonically increasing sequence identifiers. The receive node has buffers associated with respective ones of the communication lines. Each of the buffers has an output position. A cell having a smallest sequence identifier is detected from one or more cells at the output positions of the buffers. It is determined if the smallest sequence identifier is sequentially consecutive to a specified sequence identifier. If the smallest sequence identifier is sequentially consecutive to the specified sequence identifier, the cell having the smallest sequence identifier is dequeued from an output position of one of the buffers and the specified sequence identifier is redefined as the smallest sequence identifier.
