Abstract
A method for the insertion of a flow of applications-specific cells or maintenance cells into a flow of incident cells according to the ATM standard or a similar standard. To this end, a message characterizing each received cell is formed in real time. This message gives, among others, a piece of information on the type of cell, and the user cells are selected so that each of them is stored for the period of time in which a processing operation is performed on the stored cells. This processing operation is done on the basis of the messages formed to generate a specific cell (or a maintenance cell). This cell is sent out whenever a determined number of user cells has been sent out, and a vacant cell is eliminated. Else, a pending user cell is sent out and a vacant cell is generated. Application to transmission on the ATM networks.
