Abstract:
1. A method for multiplexing data packets comprising steps of: receiving a plurality of data packets to produce a plurality of received data packets, wherein each received data packet of the plurality of received data packets comprises a routing address that is associated with one or more of network layer routing information and transport layer routing information; determining an address label for each received data packet based on the data packet's routing address, wherein the address label provides one or more of network layer routing information and transport layer routing information; for each data packet of the plurality of received data packets, deleting the routing address from the data packet and adding the address label determined for the data packet to the data packet to produce a modified data packet; multiplexing the modified data packets; and wrapping the multiplexed data packets with a new data transmission header comprising link layer routing information for the multiplexed data packets to produce a data transmission unit.
