In a congestion control method adapted to a communications system having a network, a terminal and a terminal adapter which is provided between the network and the terminal and interchanges a first frame format handled by the network and a second frame format handled by the terminal, the terminal adapter receives a signal sent in the first frame format via the network and detects whether or not the signal includes congestion notification information indicating occurrence of a congestion in the communications system. The terminal adapter then sends a signal in the second frame format including first notification information to the terminal. The terminal adapter then performs a predetermined control process for recovery from the congestion when the terminal receives the signal in the second frame format.

In an ATM cell assembling and disassembling method for a communications network having first and second communications nodes, HDLC data is transferred from a first terminal to the first communications node via a first transmission line, the HDLC data conforming to an HDLC format. It starts to assemble, in the first communications node, at least one cell from the HDLC data when data which is contained in the HDLC data and equal to one cell has been received. Then the above at least one cell of ATM data is transferred from the first communications node to the second communications node. Disassembly is started, in the second communications node, of the above at least one cell of ATM data to thereby generate original HDLC data when a fluctuation compensation time has elapsed after a first cell of ATM data among the above-mentioned at least one cell of ATM data is received by the second communications node. The fluctuation compensation time is based on a maximum fluctuation time of a route connecting the first and second communications nodes to each other as well as a bit rate of the first transmission line. Finally, the original HDLC data is transferred to a second terminal from the second communications node via a second transmission line.

The fault notifying system includes a network interface coupled to the ATM network for outputting an alarm indication signal (AIS) when a fault is generated in the ATM network. An ATM crossconnect part generates an AIS cell having a predetermined signal format in response to the AIS.

A terminal interface coupled to the DTE notifies the fault in the ATM network to the DTE in response to the DNR. The AIS cell has a cell format identical to an ATM cell format but has predetermined information in a specific part of the ATM cell format to distinguish the AIS cell from the ATM cell.
