Abstract

A broadcaster broadcasts all network cells received via a receive channel of a telecommunication line serving the installation to digital loops including terminals. A collector collects ATM cells produced by the terminals and transmits them in an emit channel of the line to the network. The broadcaster marks received network cells in order for the collector to eliminate them and not transmit them in the emit channel. ATM intercommunication cells can be produced by terminals and switched by the collector to the broadcaster in order to broadcast them with received network cells to destination terminals of the installation.
