ABSTRACT:
Network management information (NMI) contained in a first set of byte locations of a received frame is relocated to a second set of byte locations of another frame. The NMI is then transported through network elements using the second set of byte locations until the NMI is to be transported to a compatible network element, which can understand the NMI. At which time, the NMI is relocated back to the first set of byte locations of frames destined for the compatible network element. The relocation of the NMI from a first set of byte locations to a second set of byte locations allows the NMI to be transparently transported through incompatible network elements.
