Abstract:
1. A method comprising: utilizing at least one transmission parameter value, for each transceiver in a plurality of bonded transceivers that distribute information from a single ATM cell stream on multiple ATM cell substreams over multiple twisted wire pairs using a multi-pair multiplexer or receive information on multiple ATM cell substreams to form a single ATM cell stream using a multi-pair demultiplexer, to reduce a difference in latency between the bonded transceivers, wherein a data rate for a first of the plurality of bonded transceivers is different than a data rate for a second of the plurality of bonded transceivers; and transmitting or receiving a plurality of cells or packets using the plurality of bonded transceivers, wherein an order of the cells is determined by a counter and wherein the plurality of cells are ATM cells and wherein the counter is a cell counter embedded in a header of an ATM cell.
