Abstract
An improved system and technique for processing a communications session in a data communications system suitably includes the steps of receiving the communications session at a line interface card, embedding the communications session into an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) virtual circuit at the line interface card, transporting the virtual circuit from the line interface card to a processor card via a backplane. The processor card suitably extracts the communications session from the virtual circuit, and processes the communications session as appropriate.
