Claim 7:
8. The first multi-port transceiver of claim 1, wherein:
the first communication interface is configured to transmit and receive data at M times the first data rate, wherein M is a positive integer greater than one;
the multi-rate interleaver circuitry is configured to interleave i) N first data streams, wherein N is a positive integer greater than one, and ii) the second data stream received via the first communication interface, to generate a third data stream to be transmitted via the second communication interface at N+M times the first data rate; and
the multi-rate deinterleaver circuitry is configured to deinterleave a fourth data stream that was received via the second communication interface into i) N fifth data streams, and ii) the sixth data stream.
