Abstract
A virtual circuit in a network device reformats one or more incoming data streams at a non-predetermined data rate into one or more outgoing data streams at a predetermined data rate, thereby allowing multiple data streams with non-predetermined data rates that are less than the predetermined data rate to be combined and output from a single network port, and a single data stream with a non-predetermined data rate that is greater than the predetermined data rate to be split and output from two or more network ports.
