Abstract
Methods and apparatus for communicating synchronous digital signals through an asynchronous domain are disclosed. In one aspect a method includes receiving a first synchronous digital signal of a first domain, wherein the first synchronous digital signal is generated by a first device for communication to a second device; encapsulating the first synchronous digital signal of the first domain into a first asynchronous packet of a second domain; and transmitting the first asynchronous packet to an asynchronous network of the second domain.
