A bus control module for a delivery unit, which interfaces an optical fiber network to a switching matrix. The bus control module controls transport of control data and network data between various application modules of the delivery unit. The control data and network data are carried as datagrams on ingress links from the application modules and on egress links to the application modules.

OC3 delivery unit; bus control module

A data bus controller is provided. The data bus controller comprises an ingress interface that receives single data streams of encoded data. A multiplexer is connected to the ingress interface and combines the single data streams into a broadcast data stream of encoded data. An egress interface connected to the multiplexer transmits the broadcast data stream. An arbiter is connected to the multiplexer. The arbiter generates control data for controlling the multiplexing of the single data streams and transmits control data to the multiplexer.
