Abstract
An ATM signal processor system for processing ATM data cells which in combination define a data package wherein the last cell of a package is characterized by an identifying code. The cells of different data packages are multiplexed to provide a serial data stream. A server and a buffer store via which the server is fed with the serial data stream are provided. The buffer store has a threshold capacity beyond which cells are discarded. A discarded cell identifier/rejecter serves to identify and store the identity of a data package with which a discarded cell is associated so as to be set thereafter to reject subsequently received cells with the same data package identity until being reset upon receipt of the last cell of the package as indicated by its characteristic identifying code.
