Abstract
An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network control apparatus receives data, converts the data into an ATM packet, stores a table of header information for at least one communication network, changes the header of the received ATM packet on the basis of information in the ATM packet header and the stored table, and outputs the modified ATM packet. Units which perform these functions are connected to a general purpose bus line and a high-speed bus line.
