Abstract:
1. A system for asymmetric transport, the system comprising: a first network element coupled with at least one first transport interface; a second network element coupled with at least one second transport interface; an optical medium between the at least one first transport interface and the at least one second transport interface; wherein the at least one first transport interface and the at least one second transport interface accommodate a first transmission of at least one first signal from the first network element to the second network element through the optical medium at a first rate; and wherein the at least one first transport interface and the at least one second transport interface accommodate a second transmission of at least one second signal from the second network element to the first network element through the optical medium at a second rate different from the first rate; wherein at least part of the at least one first transport interface is at least a first part of the first network element and at least part of the at least one second transport interface is at least a first part of the second network element.
