Abstract
During the course of virtual connections, message cells are transmitted via the ATM communication equipment (KE) working according to an asynchronous transfer mode and are forwarded to a serving trunk (A1, . . . , An) coming into consideration for the respective virtual connection. Characteristic parameters corresponding to the traffic characteristic of the message cell stream to be transmitted are thereby determined for the respective virtual connection during the course of the call setup. Based on the criterion of these characteristic parameters, a time interval for the forwarding of a message cell to the serving trunk coming into consideration is determined for every message cell transmitted via the ATM communication equipment. It is thereby provided that the time interval for the respective message cell is only determined with the forwarding of a message cell of the same virtual connection that immediately precedes it.
