Abstract
The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for carrying out connection and related input/output processing functions in a Sinchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH/SONET) transport node (network), in which the payload switching matrices (e.g. MSPC and HPC matrices for an High Order VC system) collapse into one single functional block (MTRX), while the Virtual Container (VCs) monitoring functions (HVC_RX, HVC_TX) are shifted to the Input/Output position of the matrices.
