Abstract:
1. A multi-service mapper framer comprising: at least one network interface for formatting a receive serial data stream, producing a channelized receive data stream, and for formatting a channelized transmit data stream producing a transmit serial data stream; at least one cross-connect for de-multiplexing the channelized receive data stream, producing at least one receive data channel, and for multiplexing at least one transmit data channel, producing the channelized transmit data stream; at least one packet mapper for mapping at least one of the at least one receive data channel, producing a receive packet data stream, and for de-mapping a transmit packet data stream, producing at least one of the at least one transmit data channel; at least one packet data interface for packetizing the receive packet data stream producing a receive packet stream, and for de-packetizing a transmit packet stream into the transmit packet data stream; at least one DS 1/E1 data interface for framing at least one of the at least one receive data channel, producing a time division multiplexed receive data stream, and for framing a time division multiplexed transmit data stream producing at least one of the at least one transmit data channel; at least one DS3/E3 data interface for framing at least one of the at least one receive data channel, producing a time division multiplexed receive data stream, and for framing a time division multiplexed transmit data stream producing at least one of the at least one transmit data channel; at least one telecom bus interface for transferring data from at least one of the at least one receive data channel to an external device, and for transferring to at least one of the at least one transmit data channel data from the external device; and at least one microprocessor unit arranged in order to allow information to be exchanged with at least one of the at least one network interface, the at least one cross- connect, the at least one packet mapper, the at least one packet data interface, the at least one DS1/E1 interface, the at least one DS3/E3 interface, and the at least one telecom bus interface.
