Abstract
A status report frequency mitigation mechanism for mitigating the frequency of status report generation for raw cells during transmit operations in a network node is presented. The status report frequency mitigation mechanism operates to adjust the frequency with which status reports for raw cells are generated by manipulating the End-of-Packet (EOP) bit in transmit slot descriptors associated with transmit slots containing raw cell data.
