ABSTRACT:
A multi-port link interface capable of high-speed time division multiplexed communications at a signal transfer point is disclosed. In one implementation, the multi-port link interface module is located in the signal transfer point, terminates two or more high-speed TDM links and generates internal data. Data received on one high-speed communications link is combined with the internal data used to fill outbound timeslots in an outgoing high-speed link. The data may include signaling data, bearer data, or signaling and bearer data.
