Abstract
A method and apparatus for interfacing ATM network packet type communications to STM frame type communications. This method and apparatus is especially useful for interfacing isochronous ATM cells to STM frames. The apparatus concerns an elastic store which receives ATM cells and sorts them in a set of FIFOs into their respective frames. The FIFO storing and retrieval method removes jitter and delay. A controlled clock within the elastic store clocks reads the information out of the FIFOs and into a STM network.
