ABSTRACT:
A novel transport architecture and network elements use nodes in a ring or virtual ring configuration. Information is exchanged among the nodes in a continuous series of containers carried in a superframe. A container is assigned to a destination node and is divided into partitions which are allocated for source nodes. Therefore, when a container destined to a particular destination node arrives at a node and if this node has information to send to the destination node, it fills the allocated partition within the container with information destined to the destination node. The sizes of the superframe, containers and partitions are all variable dynamically or statically.
