Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for communicating a sequence of data bits is provided. FEC coding is performed on a received sequence of data bits to produce an FEC coded sequence formatted for a first set of N data lanes. The FEC coded sequence includes FEC data blocks, in which each FEC data block has a plurality of data symbols. Alignment markers are added to the FEC coded sequence and the FEC coded sequence is multiplexed to produce a multiplexed sequence formatted for a second set of M data lanes. The multiplexing is performed only at boundaries between the data symbols or the alignment markers. The multiplexed sequence is transmitted on M data lanes.
