Abstract:
1. A system for controlling a flow of data over an optical transport system, the system comprising: an ingress terminal in communication with a first network, wherein the ingress terminal is configured to receive the data from the first network; and an egress terminal in communication with the ingress terminal comprising a memory, wherein the egress terminal is configured to receive the data from the ingress terminal over the optical transport system and transmit the data to a second network, and wherein said memory is configured to store the data received by the egress terminal from the ingress terminal; wherein the ingress terminal is configured to enable transmission of the data from the first network to the ingress terminal only when the memory is available to store the data, wherein the ingress terminal is configured to determine memory availability based, at least in part, on a data amount transmitted by the ingress terminal to the egress terminal.
