A system and method for efficient packetization of cells transmitted over a packet network are described. Multiple virtual connections are received, each virtual connection carrying multiple cells. One or more cells of the cells carried by each virtual connection are stored for a predetermined time period. A cell counter of the stored cells is modified to indicate a number of the stored cells. Finally, a packet containing the stored cells is formed, the packet to be transmitted to a destination node over a network.

A transmission system operable to store a plurality of transmission cells is disclosed. The transmission system comprises a first memory coupled to a plurality of signals and a first data bus. The transmission system also comprises a second memory coupled to the plurality of signals and a second data bus. The transmission system further comprises a controller coupled to the first memory device and the second memory device. The controller is operable to maintain a list comprising the available storage blocks in the first memory.

A multiple cell lane switching system includes a number of individual cards interconnected via a plurality of cell lanes. Each card includes devices for receiving a plurality of cells from a transmission line and for buffering cells in an order corresponding to the received cell order. Cells are transmitted from a first card across the plurality of cell lanes to a second card in an order corresponding to that in which that they were received from a first transmission line at the first card. At the second card, the cells are read from the cell lanes and buffered. Finally, the cells are transferred from the cell lane buffers of the second card to a second transmission line in an order replicates the order of cell reception at the first card.
