Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A network component comprising a processor configured to implement a method comprising promoting the communication of a frame of octet-sized timeslots, wherein the timeslots are configured to carry a plurality of data types. Also disclosed is a method comprising communicating a high priority data and a low priority data in a frame comprising a plurality of octet-sized timeslots, wherein each timeslot is assigned to the high priority data or the low priority data, wherein the high priority data is provided in the timeslots assigned to the high priority data, and wherein the low priority data is provided in the timeslots assigned to the low priority data. Also disclosed is a network component comprising a processor configured to implement a method comprising recognizing the reception of a plurality of data streams each having a priority, and promoting the multiplexing of the data streams based on the priority of each data stream.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A network component comprising: a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: transmit a frame comprising a transport overhead, a timeslot map, and a plurality of octet-sized timeslots, wherein each timeslot is assigned as either a high priority timeslot or a low priority timeslot, wherein the timeslot map indicates data types located in the timeslots are time division multiplexed (TDM) data, high performance flow (HPF) data, best-effort packet (BE…
