Abstract
An improved system and method for transporting ATM information over a communications channel by enabling a single 4-octet ATM header to be prepended to user data, thus forming a low overhead ATM cell. Furthermore, an alternative embodiment of the invention may be used to simultaneously transport a plurality of 52 octet ATM frames in conjunction with the low overhead cells.
