ATM Switching: RCH
Composite ATM (TCA 1/2)
Converting voice circuits into/from ATM cells must be delay free
All Time slots bound to the same destination are loaded in the same ATM
Virtual Circuit (VC) every 125 s (no packetisation delay)
One or several VC (depending on traffic load) lead to that destination (the
VCs to cross the ASE are established dynamically)
Cell delivery time is mastered by the CBR AAL1 service category
