Abstract
A communication control system lessens the burden (load) of repeaters and has a reduced number of development steps. Data of the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) signaling protocol standard that is delivered to an ATM/1394 repeater 3 (FIG. 4, for example) through an ATM network 2 from an ATM terminal 1 is converted to data of the IEEE 1394 transmission standard by an ASEL (ATM over IEEE 1394 Serial bus Emulation Layer) 31 (see FIG. 54, for example). The data of the IEEE 1394 standard transmitted to a 1394 terminal 4 is converted into data of the ATM standard by an ASEL 32. Advantageously, using the inventive ASEL avoids the need for an original (special-purpose) signaling protocol (FIG. 3) that would otherwise be required between the repeater and the terminal(s) 4.
