Abstract

See full text

Methods for multiplexing multiple signal streams over a single full duplex ETHERNET link include modifying a standard ETHERNET packet header to indicate the stream to which the packet belongs. According to the presently preferred embodiments, the packet header is modified in a way which is well formed and does not cause framing errors in existing equipment. The methods of the invention may be carried out in existing ETHERNET framers/mappers with only a software modification. Thus, the new functionality can be obtained with existing equipment.
