Abstract

Forwarding devices and corresponding methods are provided in which a plurality of input data streams are distributed among a plurality of output data streams on the basis of synchronization marking. One example method of forwarding data includes receiving a plurality of input data streams, where at least some of the input data streams include synchronization markers indicating which data of the input data streams are to be output synchronously, in one or more common time segments. Further included in the method is distributing the data to be output synchronously among a plurality of output data streams on the basis of the synchronization markers. The distributing is carried out in such a way that data which, according to the synchronization markers, are to be transmitted in a common time segment are provided in the same time segment in all the output data streams to which the data are to be assigned.
