Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for data transformation are disclosed. An exemplary apparatus includes a first memory, a second memory, a cross-bar switch communicatively coupled between the first memory and the second memory, and a lookup table that specifies one or more memory addresses of the first memory to read out to the cross-bar switch, one or more memory addresses of the second memory to which to write data from the cross-bar switch, and a configuration of the cross-bar switch. An exemplary method includes determining, based on a lookup table, one or more memory addresses of a first memory to read out to a cross-bar switch, determining, based on the lookup table, one or more memory addresses of a second memory to which to write data from the cross-bar switch, and determining, based on the lookup table, a configuration of the cross-bar switch.

Abstract: A method may include generating, by a device, a set of bit masks associated with locating frame alignment signal (FAS) data. The set of bit masks may be utilized by multiple framer circuits associated with identifying a start of one more frames of multiple lower order Optical channel Data Unit (ODU) flows multiplexed in a higher order ODU flow. The method may include detecting, by the device, the FAS data at a particular byte location in a particular lower order ODU flow, of the multiple lower order ODU flows, based on the set of bit masks. The method may include identifying, by the device, the start of one or more frames of the particular lower order ODU flow based on detecting the FAS data. The one or more frames may be associated with an ITU-T G.709 Optical Transport Network frame based signal.
