Abstract
A floating cell removing device using a generic flow control includes a processor having a generic flow control processing logic for transmitting/receiving a signal cell, checking a generic flow control field of an operation and maintenance cell and removing a floating cell; a pair of cell relay and add/drop function units respectively connected to a subscriber and a network of the processor, for supporting an internal communication between subscriber terminals, temporarily storing the signal cell and transmitting it to a network device; a pair of asynchronous transfer mode hierarchical function processors for converting a cell header, inserting and extracting an operation and maintenance cell, and transmitting it to the processor and the cell relay and add/drop function units; and a plurality of buffers formed between the processor and the cell relay and add/drop function units and between the cell relay and add/drop function units, for temporarily storing data inputted therefrom.
