摘要： A plurality of end devices are coupled via a shared port to an asynchronous network in which traffic is carried in cells. A cell multiplexer is disposed between the devices and the port and is adapted to multiplex cells from the devices to the port in the order in which they are received by the multiplexer. The multiplexer broadcasts cells received from the network to all of the devices. Each said device is allocated a respective VCI so that it can identify its own cells from the broadcast cells.

摘要： An arrangement for connecting a device or end system to an ATM network incorporates a device controller coupled to the end system via first and second virtual channels across the network. The device controller discovers and boots the end system via the first virtual channel and performs proxy signalling means via the second virtual channel for on behalf of the end system.
