ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the specification and drawings facilitate data packet transportation. One aspect of the invention multiplexes time-sensitive TDM (Time Division Multiplexed) and other synchronous data, and asynchronous data traffic, onto a communication channel in a manner that minimizes jitter in the delivery of the TDM data traffic while efficiently transporting asynchronous data traffic. Another aspect of the invention provides dynamic bandwidth sharing on a communication ring. The dynamic bandwidth sharing aspect of the present invention facilitates the efficient utilization of bandwidth of communication rings, particularly in those rings that cover large geographic areas.
