Abstract:
1. A termination unit for use in a digital subscriber line system, comprising: a first communication interface adapted for receiving first traffic having a first number of timeslots, each timeslot corresponding to an incremental bit rate, wherein a number (N a second communication interface adapted for receiving second traffic, wherein the second traffic has a bit rate equal to some multiple (N a third communication interface for coupling to a digital subscriber line and for providing a combined traffic having a second number of timeslots, each timeslots corresponding to the incremental bit rate, wherein the second number of timeslots is greater than or equal to N wherein the termination unit is adapted to map the timeslots of the first traffic to a first portion of the timeslots of the combined traffic; wherein the termination unit is adapted to map the second traffic to a second portion of the timeslots of the combined traffic; and wherein the first portion of the timeslots of the combined traffic begins at a first timeslot of the combined traffic.
