ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a process for storing transmission units in interworking between networks of differing protocol structure, in particular between ATM networks and Ethernet networks, and a corresponding network communications device. In accordance with the invention a storage in a segmented memory (10) is proposed in which the segmentation is chosen in such a way that the length of a segment of the segmented memory (10) corresponds to the length of the payload of an ATM cell. The storage of transmission units in the segmented memory (10) is preferably effected in the form of lists (40) which comprise descriptor segments (100) and data segments (200). The invention facilitates efficient storage and processing of transmission units with differing data structure and length.
