ATM Mapping
The S/UNI-QUAD processes the ATM cell mapping for STS-3c (STM-1) as shown
below in Figure 10. The S/UNI-QUAD processes the transport and path
overhead required to support ATM UNIs and NNIs. In addition, the S/UNI-QUAD
provides support for the APS bytes. In Figure 10, the STS-3c (STM-1) mapping
is shown. In this mapping, no stuff columns are included in the SPE. The entire
SPE is used for ATM cells.
