Abstract
A method and an apparatus for transferring structured data of a constant bit rate traffic in an ATM network. The method uses the recurrence of alignment of the structured data field of length N in a 47 octet SA.sub.-- PDU payload. At the transmitting end the CSI bit of the header of the first SAR.sub.-- PDU is set to 1. It is then set to 0 for the next SAR.sub.-- PDUs until the Nth SAR.sub.-- PDU is reached. It is then again set to 1. This process is repeated until the last SAR.sub.-- PDU has been transmitted.
