ABSTRACT:
A buffer circuit for use in a node in a network-based data transport system is configurable for providing channel status information of all channels associated with a given signal in the network-based data transport system. The buffer circuit includes a memory and a controller coupled to the memory. The controller is operative: (i) to receive channel status information from a plurality of different channel status sources; (ii) to select one of the channel status sources for supplying the channel status information at a given point in time; and (iii) to store the channel status information corresponding to the selected channel status source in the memory.
