ABSTRACT:
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for transporting ATM cells in a device having an Ethernet switching fabric. According to one method, at least one ingress ATM cell is received at an ATM network interface of a device having an Ethernet switching fabric. Next, the connection associated with which the ingress ATM cell is identified. The ATM cell is encapsulated in Ethernet frame addressed to a media processing resource associated with the connection. The Ethernet frame is forwarded to the media processing resource across an Ethernet switching fabric.
