Abstract
A system for data transmission and communication receives a plurality of Gigabit Ethernet data packets from multiple Gigabit Ethernet links. The system bit multiplexes the data packets, on a bit by bit basis, together onto a fiber optic link. At the output of the fiber optic link, the bits are demultiplexed into data packets and transmitted onto multiple Gigabit Ethernet links. The high speed fiber optic link transmits the data at higher speed than is possible over each individual Gigabit Ethernet link.
