Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing TDM terminating services in a packet network. According to one method, a combined set including a plurality of TDM channels is received over a packet network. The combined set of TDM channels is terminated in the packet network as a combined TDM facility. Terminating the TDM channels as a combined TDM facility may include providing at least one terminating TDM service for the TDM channels, such as performing CAS signaling or providing a PRI interface for the TDM channels.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for transporting ATM cells in a device having an Ethernet switching fabric. According to one method, at least one ingress ATM cell is received at an ATM network interface of a device having an Ethernet switching fabric. Next, the connection associated with which the ingress ATM cell is identified. The ATM cell is encapsulated in Ethernet frame addressed to a media processing resource associated with the connection. The Ethernet frame is forwarded to the media processing resource across an Ethernet switching fabric.
