Abstract :
Considers cell-level synchronisation and link-to-node synchronisation, identifying a common protocol model for ATM applicable to a mixture of transmission systems and environments such as passive optical networks. A second aspect considered is how the capacity of a transmission system can be flexibly divided using the virtual path concept
