Abstract
In a circuit arrangement for line units of an ATM switching equipment unit, it is possible with the assistance of the respective line unit to separate one or more virtual connections carried in a virtual path proceeding thereover from a virtual path proceeding thereover. For this purpose, the connection to be respectively separated has route information allocated to it with the assistance of a memory arrangement that is present in the respective line unit and is formed of a content-addressable memory (CAM) and of a following random access memory (RAM), the route information deviating from the route information of the virtual connections that continue to be carried in the corresponding virtual path.
