Abstract
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells are conveyed over a shelf bus to and from an NT (network termination) card inserted into the bus connected to an ATM network and to a plurality of LT (line termination) cards also inserted into the bus, wherein the NT card processes the ATM cells and provides downstream cells to the bus with a guard byte and upstream cells to the ATM network without a guard byte.
