Abstract
A frame to cell converter (413) uses a process for converting a data transmission stream for transportation in a cell-based network (102). The frame to cell converter (413) receives a data transmission stream from a data source to produce a received data transmission stream. The received data transmission stream may be either a synchronous data stream or an asynchronous data stream. An address translation is performed based on the data source to produce a unique address identifier. The unique address identifier and a portion of the received data transmission stream are employed to create an ATM cell (238) for transportation within the cell-based network (102).
