Abstract
A system and related methodology are provided that are configured to receive, at a first network element, multiple channels of video delivered as respective streams of packets, form a packet switched communication frame including a sub-layer header, encapsulate packets from the multiple channels of video into a payload field of the communication frame to obtain encapsulated packets, identify the encapsulated packets in the payload field with respective tags in the sub-layer header, designate the encapsulated packets in the payload field with respective launch values in the sub-layer header, and transmit the communication frame to a second network element. The first network element may be a universal edge quadrature amplitude modulator (UEQAM) and the second network element may be a relatively distant fiber node of a cable plant. The sub-layer header may also include Program Clock Reference (PCR) offset data that can be used for PCR re-stamping.
