Abstract:
A system for connecting a circuit network with a packet network, the system comprising:a packet switch fabric; a circuit network server having a first port for sending and receiving circuit-based signals with the circuit network, the circuit network server having a digital signal processor for providing packet adaptation and a second port for sending and receiving packet-based signals having packets with the packet switch fabric; a packet network server having a first port for sending and receiving packet-based signals with the packet switch fabric and a second port for sending and receiving packet-based signals with the packet network; and a signal processing server having a port for sending and receiving packet-based signals with the packet switch fabric, the signal processing server having a digital signal processor for performing signal processing on the packet-based signals; wherein the packet switch fabric transfers packet-based signals among the packet network server, the signal processing server, and the circuit network server.
