  • System for efficient broadband data payload conversion
    Patent number: 6603776
    Abstract: The system for broadband data payload conversion functions to efficiently convert broadband data between two sets of data formats. In particular, this software system converts between AUG/AU3/VC3 clear channel payloads and AU4/VC4/TU3/VC3 clear channel payloads in an efficient manner, which also complies with the industry standard data formatting requirements. The present system implements an efficient data format conversion process that uses existing circuitry and can effect the data format conversion with only a few bytes of delay instead of an entire frame of delay as is typically found in existing systems. This is accomplished by manipulating the format conversion to simplify the format conversion process.
