Packet sharing data transmission system and relay to lower latency

摘要

A system is provided for combining and transmitting data fragments for multiple customer ports sent over a first packet-switched computer network to a trunk network and redistributed over a second packet-switched computer network, each customer port having a preselected bandwidth designation. The system provides a First- In First-Out (FIFO) register to capture incoming data bits from each customer port in parallel and speeds equal to or greater than 1 Gbps, providing selectors connected to the FIFO outputs. Each selector is capable of mapping individual incoming data bits from different customer ports and combining them into the same trunk fragments. Each filled trunk frame is transmitted across the trunk network having a transmission rate that is less than the sum of all customer port incoming bandwidths but equal to the sum of the trunk bandwidth allocation for all customer ports.
