Abstract: The present invention is a system and a method which enables implementing a scalable, carrier class bundling multiplexed data communication on low rate links. The proposed system and method, which comply with the data transference specifications of both CBR and statistical traffic, offer a data bundling solution with minimal overhead that may operate on different types of connections, using links with diverse capacities. The disclosed bundling mechanism is based on a two level mechanism: the lower level is composed of any number of superlinks, each gathering 8 communication links. The upper level is composed of two bundlers—for CBR data and for statistical traffic—each connected to all the superlinks. The header of each dataframe includes all the required information. This guarantees that the receiving side has full status information for all the links suffice that only one link is received without a CRC error.
