The present invention relates to a high-speed interface for radio systems, in particular to a synchronous serial digital interface for a car radio. In an embodiment, the synchronous serial digital interface for at least dual radio receiver systems includes a master device and a slave device. The dual radio receiver system has an intermediate frequency. The master device and the slave device exchange data in a bi-directional manner on at least one communication channel; the master device and the slave device have a unique bit clock; the master device supplies a synchronization signal to the slave device. The synchronization signal has a frequency spectrum with an amplitude at the intermediate frequency lower than the amplitudes at the other frequencies of the synchronization signal.

The invention relates to a method of routing or compressing packets destination address through an electronic routing or compressing device, the packets destination address being n bit packets and having address indicative of a desired destination, the address being classless, the routing device having at least a data base of prefix entries, each of which containing entries corresponding to a desired output data link, the method having the steps of: a) generating an address mask until an entry matching a masked address obtained by making an AND operation between the packets destination address and the address mask, is found in the data; the address mask having a number of bit equal to that of the packets destination address and having, starting from the most significant n-bit equal to 1 and the remaining i bit equal to 0, with 0&#x3c;=u&#x3c;=b.1, with the first generated mask having i=0 or i=1, b) if a match is found, stopping the generation of masked address and outputting the output data link corresponding to the match, c) if no match is found, outputting a message indicating that no output data link was found.
