Abstract

For a virtual connection set up using an asynchronous transmission method which transmits information cells with a rate which is not constant over a relatively long period, the maximum rate may be limited, on the one hand, and the access of the information cells to a trunk line carrying information cells of a plurality of virtual connections may be regulated, on the other hand. As a result, the rate of information cells of a virtual connection is limited.
