Abstract
A method for rate adapting a constant bit rate (CBR) client signal into a signal stream in a telecom signal communication link includes at a source node encoding into a control block a control block header, and an ordered set block-designator, encoding into a plurality of path overhead data blocks a data block header and a count of data blocks to be encoded in a signal block, encoding into each of a plurality of signal blocks a data block header, the data blocks from the CBR signal equal to the count and pad blocks, assembling the blocks into a path signal frame, appending a set of idle character blocks following the end of the path signal frame to match a link bit rate of a first link segment, and transmitting the path signal frame and idle character blocks into the first link segment at the link bit rate.
