A communication system adds transport layer protocol independent address labels to data packets. The communication system then routes the data packets based on the address labels rather than routing addresses, such as IP, UDP, and ATM headers, and thus can multiplex and transport data packets that are formatted based on a variety of transport protocols.

Label-based multiplexing

Frequency spectrum management provides for dynamic spectrum usage adjustment among applications on a shared medium. Dynamic resource management methods are applied to the problem of managing spectrum and matching application specific requirements to real-time spectrum characteristics so that more optimal use of the available spectrum may be made. At least a first spectrum agent is assigned to each of the plurality of different applications, for managing channels allocated to the application, and a spectrum manager allocates frequency channels to the plurality of different applications based on the following at least one of parameters of a frequency channel required to implement the application and predetermined requirements based on time of day demand changes for the application.
