Abstract
An apparatus for and a method of generating pointers for identifying structure boundaries of data for leased lines such as T1/E1 in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) adaptation layer Type 1 (AAL1) through an ATM layer. The apparatus includes a control signal generating unit for receiving a sequence number signal and a start signal, thereby generating enable signals and control signals, a next-cycle boundary generating unit for generating a next-cycle boundary value, using a pointer value and a 'Pointer_P' value adapted to store a sequence of ATM cells, a modulo calculating unit for calculating a modulo obtained by dividing the next-cycle boundary value received from the next-cycle boundary generating unit by an externally-received block size value, a current-cycle boundary generating unit for generating a current-cycle boundary value, using the next-cycle boundary value received from the next-cycle boundary generating unit, the modulo received from the modulo calculating unit, and the block size value; and the pointer calculating unit for generating a pointer value for determination of structure boundaries and a 'Pointer_P' value, to be supplied to the next-cycle boundary generating unit, based on the current-cycle boundary value received from the current-cycle boundary generating unit.
