Abstract
The known alternate circuiting of ATM cells is efficiently controlled upon employment of linear structures. In order to also be able to transfer these structures to ring-shaped architectures, a ring-shaped structure is inventively formed of linear structures in that further linear structures are linked into the transmission section of a linear structure and the switching equipment of the original linear structure are brought together or merged. Further, a plurality of protection entities share a transmission capacity that is reserved in common.
