Abstract
Variable-rate encoding apparatus operative to receive data and process the data for transmission through an asynchronous transfer mode network. A processor determines a degree of circuit congestion associated with at least one virtual circuit of the network. A variable-rate encoder encodes the received data so as to provide encoded data packets to the at least one virtual circuit at a rate that is selected responsive to the degree of circuit congestion. An ambiguity resolving field is preferably added to at least some of the data packets so as to resolve ambiguity regarding encoding rate.
