Zusammenfassung:In an ATM communication network ATM cells to be transmitted from a terminal device (46) to a network control node (12) are transmitted according to certain transmission properties also called Quality of Service. In order to determine the Quality of Service with which a given packet has to be transmitted, the Quality of Service is determined from address information in the VPI/VCI identifier in the header of the ATM cell. In an embodiment of the invention a network termination (32) comprises address translation means (76) for translating the address present in ATM cells received from the terminal device (46) into addresses indicating the Quality of Service.
