Abstract
A method is described for sending frames of data from at least two ingresses to one egress in an ATM network. Each frame of data to be sent is partitioned into cells. The egress creates an identification for each of the ingresses and sends the identification to the ingresses. Each of the ingresses includes the received identification in each of the cells and sends the cells to the egress. And then, the egress combines the received cells into frames depending on the included identification.
