Abstract :
The convergence of telecommunications and computer communication technologies requires the development of interworking units to convert different data formats, protocols and control procedures. This paper describes the architecture of an electronic device, which is able to perform interworking functionalities between ATM, ISDN and Ethernet networks and presents several scenarios for interconnection environments
