A transport unit is disclosed. On a transmit side, the transport unit includes a payload data unit (PDU) formation unit, a frame formation unit and a scheduler. An input of the scheduler is coupled to the PDU formation unit, and an output of the scheduler is coupled to the frame formation unit. On a receive side, the transport unit includes a distribution unit (which includes a group synchronization unit), a channel resequencing unit (coupled to the group synchronization unit), and a scheduler (coupled to the channel resequencing unit).

Method and system for transport of packet-based datastreams over frame-based transport systems employing physically diverse transmission channels

Methods, apparatus, computer program products, and systems to transport multiple variable data rate LAN streams and fixed data rate voice streams through a plurality of variable data rate transmission links used as a conduit for transmission of data between each local area network are disclosed. Incoming data streams are placed within payload data units and distributed among the transmission links, which use a framed protocol. While the frame size for each transmission link varies dependent upon the transmission rate of that link, the number of payload data units within each frame remains constant.

Method and apparatus for transport of multiple TDM and data clients over multiple variable data rate streams

A method, system and transport unit to combine and transport multiple variable data rate LAN streams and fixed data rate voice streams through a plurality of transmission links used as a conduit for transmission of data between local area networks are disclosed. Combining both TDM and packetized network traffic into packets for transfer between LANs using a framed protocol for the transfer is further disclosed.
