System and method for implementing suppression for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) adaptation layer 2 (AAL2) traffic in a communications environment

摘要

A method for communicating data is provided that includes receiving a plurality of cells associated with a communications flow and determining whether one or more of the cells included in the flow should be suppressed. In specific embodiments, the method further includes suppressing a selected one or more of the cells associated with asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) adaptation layer 2 (AAL2).
