Abstract
An apparatus for reflecting an f-RM cell as a b-RM cell. The apparatus includes an RM cell processor which is adapted to receive the f-RM cell from an ATM network and modifies ABR information of the f-RM cell to reflect congestion regarding cells on the ATM network. The apparatus includes a transmit scheduler connected to the RM cell processor which forms the b-RM cell from the modified ABR information of the f-RM cell and sends the b-RM cell to the ATM network. The transmit scheduler is decoupled from the RM cell processor. An ATM telecommunications system. A method for reflecting an f-RM cell as a b-RM cell.
