A system and method for flushing cells in an ATM network sets an interval timer during which it would be expected that an active physical output would indicate it could accept a cell. When an interval elapses a physical output , that has not indicated it is ready to accept a cell is marked as disabled and may remain so until the output is reset. Cells in an output queue to a disabled cell are flushed during periods when no higher priority cells are available to be sent.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 7, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 7, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 7, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
