[ We claim:] [1.]1. A method of transmitting data from an application, comprising the steps of:supplementing the data with error detection information;forming the supplemented data into at least one ATM cell, the cell comprising cell routing information and a cell payload and wherein the cell payload comprises at least a portion of the supplemented data and comprises error correction informationfor the portion depending on the application;transmitting the cell to a destination; correcting an error in the cell using said error correction information depending on the application;extracting the portion of the supplemented data from the cell; and detecting uncorrected errors in the data using said error detection information and reporting the uncorrected errors to an error processing means.
