Claim 17:
18. The method of operating the first multi-port transceiver of claim 10, wherein:
receiving the plurality of first data streams via respective the first ports comprises receiving each first data stream at 2.5 gigabits per second (Gbps);
transmitting the plurality of fifth data streams via respective first ports comprises transmitting each fifth data stream at 2.5 Gbps;
receiving the second data stream via the first communication interface comprises receiving the second data stream at 10 Gbps;
transmitting the sixth data stream via the first communication interface comprises transmitting the sixth data stream at 10 Gbps;
interleaving the plurality of first data streams and the second data stream comprises interleaving i) the plurality of first data streams, each received at 2.5 Gbps, and ii) the second data stream received at 10 Gbps, to generate the third data stream to be transmitted via the second communication interface at 20 Gbps; and
deinterleaving the fourth data stream into the plurality of fifth data streams and the sixth data stream comprises deinterleaving the fourth data stream that was received at 20 Gbps into i) the plurality of fifth data streams, each fifth data stream to be transmitted at 2.5 Gbps, and ii) the sixth data stream to be transmitted at 10 Gbps.
