Abstract
A method and system for improving the passage of silent or unused status of Ds channel to a data switch with a Ds switching capacity. The method allows the Ds channel source to be the only equipment that must engage a digital signal processor to remove silent and unused Ds channels from a Ds channel carrying data packet. The method provides for the Ds channel source, the intermediate nodes (data switches with Ds switching matrixes included) and Ds channel destination to recognize a simple and efficient means of passing suppression status of a Ds channel through the entire network.
