  • METHOD FOR AGGREGATING MULTIPLE CLIENT SIGNALS INTO A GENERIC FRAMING PROCEDURE (GFP) PATH
    Publication number: 20120328288
    Abstract: Used bandwidth counts for each of multiple client streams are maintained. A used bandwidth count for a client stream is increased when data from the client stream is put in a Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) frame onto the GFP path and is decreased once every time period by allocated bandwidth credits value. The used bandwidth count for a client stream is compared with a bandwidth limit before sending data in the client stream in a GFP frame onto the GFP path.

  • METHOD FOR MAPPING GENERIC CLIENT SIGNALS INTO A GENERIC FRAMING PROCEDURE (GFP) PATH
    Publication number: 20120327786
    Abstract: 10 bit words from a client are packed into 64B/65B blocks such that at least some of the blocks have data containing only a portion of at least some of the 10 bit words. The 64B/65B blocks are combined into groups of eight to form superblocks. The superblocks are combined in multiples of five to form a Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) frame such that the GFP frame contains an integer number of complete 10 bit words with no partial 10-bit words.
