Claim Text:
1. A method of enhancing management channels comprising: receiving, by a rate adapter block, data from predefined number of channels and a Time Division Multiplex (TDM) clock signal; operating, by the rate adapter block, the TDM clock signal frequency at a predefined frequency rate higher than operating frequency based on available management channels; transmitting, by a TDM controller, a predefined number of bytes of the data from each of the predefined number of channels on the management channels at the predefined frequency rate, upon receiving each clock sync signal by the rate adapter block, wherein the management channels are at least one of DCCR (Data Communication Channel Regenerator) channels for SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), DCCM (Data Communication Channel Multiplex) channels for SDH, Section (or Line) Data communication channels for SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) and GCC (General Communication Channel) channels for OTN (Optical Transport Network).
