A process for reducing the amount of overhead data in ATM cell headers prior to transmission both upstream and downstream on an HFC cable plant or other transmission media using SCDMA on at least the upstream path, without loss of either IP or Ethernet addressing information. A virtual link between each remote unit and a central unit is established using multiplexing to establish a virtual link to every remote unit. Downstream ATM cells are optimized by stripping off all but 2 bytes to leave a 50 byte cell. Incoming IP packets have their IP addressing information used to look up Ethernet domain address information for the RU and destination process to which this RU is coupled. An Ethernet header is appended to each IP packet as is RFC 1483 bytes to signal the start of the packet. The packet is parsed into 48 byte ATM cell payloads. VPI/VCI information for the virtual link of the remote unit to which the packet is bound is looked up using the Ethernet address information. The last cell in the packet is indicated by encoding 9th bits. The CU cable data modem formatter then generates optimized downstream 2-byte headers for each downstream ATM cell by stripping off all but 2 bytes of VPI/VCI data. 9th bits are added to each byte, and these 9th bits are encoded with last cell, normal cell and idle cell information and start codes so that cell boundaries can be located.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Although a large part of this disclosure deals with the complexity of the physical layer for performing synchronous code division multiple access in at least to upstream direction thereby enabling the establishment of virtual links appearing logically to be point to point connections between the head end and the various CPE cable modems, the process claims appended hereto are primarily discussed in the section below entitled "OPTIMIZED ATM OVER SCDMA".
