Abstract
An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) interface device includes a router/header conversion unit for adding a routing tag to the header of an input cell and converting the cell header into arbitrary virtual path identifier/virtual channel identifier (VPI/VCI), and a cell switching unit for routing the cell received from the router/header conversion unit according to the routing tag. The ATM interface device also includes a second header conversion unit for converting the cell header received from the cell switching unit into the output VPI/VCI corresponding to the arbitrary VPI/VCI, and a demultiplexing unit for transferring the cell from the second header converter to the output physical link corresponding to the output VPI/VCI.
