Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and system for unloading one or more T payloads from a target ATM cell where a target ATM cell has traveled over an ATM network that is emulating a T link. A plurality of ATM cells are stored in a cell buffer at a first rate. A buffer controller selects the target ATM cell from the bottom of the cell buffer. The buffer controller sends the T payloads carried in the target ATM cell to an elastic store buffer. The elastic buffer sends a plurality of timeslots in each T payload to a switch matrix at a second rate.
