Zusammenfassung:A combined use CU timer system (30) establishes expiry times by which partially filled cells (24) in each of a number of data streams (14) should be transmitted. A record is kept of groups of one or more data streams which share the same expiry time. Upon the expiry time for a group of data streams being reached the partially-filled cells (24) for the data streams in the group are sent. The invention facilitates tracking expiry times for a large number of data streams (14). Implementations of the invention may be used in sending AAL2 packets over ATM links according to the I.363.2 standard.
