Abstract
An interface apparatus of an ATM/STM coexistence network system includes a first converter for converting a first input signal of a synchronous transfer mode into a signal with a cell format having an additional address for an asynchronous transfer mode and outputting the signal with the cell format as a first asynchronous transfer mode cell and a second converter for extracting an asynchronous transfer mode cell from a second input signal in which the asynchronous transfer mode cell is multiplexed in the synchronous transfer mode and outputting the extracted asynchronous transmission mode cell as a second asynchronous transmission mode cell. The interface apparatus further includes an output-destination controller for determining output destinations in accordance with addresses shown in the first and second asynchronous transfer mode cells.
