Abstract
The present invention includes a method, system and apparatus for processing information bits in a telecommunications system. A network element receives the information bits into a physical port and then forwards the information bits to a MUX through an internal connection. The MUX receives the information bits from the physical port and then forwards the information bits to a functionality element through an internal connection. The functionality element receives the information bits from the MUX and then forwards the information bits to the MUX through an internal connection. The MUX receives the information bits from the functionality element and then forwards the information bits to the physical port.
