1. An apparatus for multiplexing voice packets to an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell in an ATM network supporting voice and data service, the apparatus comprising:
a queue for storing voice packets from voice users to which voice calls have been connected;
a multiplexer (MUX) for forming an ATM cell from the voice packets received from the queue; and
an output rate controller for determining an output rate of the ATM cell according to information about connected voice calls by calculating a coin value and controlling the MUX according to the ATM cell output rate.
