Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a particularly planar component that is as simple as possible to produce and has an optimized stability. In order to achieve said aim, a component is proposed which comprises or is formed from a polymer matrix material and at least one non-compressible filler, wherein an average proportion of the at least one non-compressible filler is preferably approximately 75 wt. % or more, based on the total mass of the component and/or based on a local mass of the component in a locally compacted region of the component, wherein the component has one or more attachment regions for attaching the component to an additional component, and wherein a material of the component is compressed at least in the one or more attachment regions.

Abstract: There is provided a technique of time-sensitive transmission of Ethernet traffic in IET-blind network. A source endpoint network node receives expedited and non-expedited Ethernet frames; for each non-expedited Ethernet frame: detects a pre-provisioned designated non-expedited tunnel with a destination endpoint network node corresponding to a destination address specified in the Ethernet frame, segments non-expedited Ethernet frame into a plurality of segments, encapsulates each segment in accordance with the designated non-expedited tunnel; and sends the encapsulated segments to the destination endpoint network node via the designated non-expedited tunnel. When the designated non-expedited tunnel is constituted by a plurality of successive sub-tunnels (e.g.

Abstract: A method, system and transport unit to combine and transport multiple variable data rate LAN streams and fixed data rate voice streams through a plurality of transmission links used as a conduit for transmission of data between local area networks are disclosed. Combining both TDM and packetized network traffic into packets for transfer between LANs using a framed protocol for the transfer is further disclosed.
