Abstract

A method for removal of ATM cells (2, 6) from an ATM communications device wherein ATM cells (2, 3, 5, 6) are respectively allocated in pluralities to a common frame (8, 9), whereby all ATM cells (2 . . . 6) of a frame (9) whose first ATM cell (2) is in the waiting list (1) are removed from a waiting list (1) for the administration of a sequence of ATM cells (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The method makes it possible to quickly and efficiently create space for cells having a higher priority in the ATM communications device.
