Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a communication system which, in accordance with one exemplary embodiment, a communication network for providing network services to at least one network device and at least one distribution point (DP) coupled to at least one network backbone. The at least one network device is located remote from the DP and coupled to the at least one network backbone via the at least one DP. The at least one DP is configured to receive a plurality of data units from the at least one network backbone in accordance with one or more communication protocols. A plurality of data frames, each having a header portion and a payload portion, are generated and each one of the received data units are mapped into one or more payload portions of the plurality of data frames. One or more of the plurality of data frames are mapped to a payload portion of at least one data transfer unit (DTU), which is then communicated to the at least one network device. Furthermore, a corresponding method and an appropriate transceiver are described.
