ABSTRACT:
A solution for providing bandwidth grooming functionality in an access network element in order to reduce the amount of data storage required by a switching module disposed therein. Each communication link coupled to the switching module is identified by an address identifier. An allocation storage unit is operable to store the addresses of a select subset of the links in response to a control unit. A multiplexer is provided for selecting the links based on the stored addresses for transmitting data to a data storage unit coupled to the switching module, thereby obviating the need for a much larger data storage unit.
