Abstract

A method for enabling enable use of multiple active paths for TDM traffic over a packet switched network, comprises: receiving at least two copies of a replicated packet including TDM information via at least two paths through the packet switched network, the at least two copies of the replicated packet including at least a first copy of the replicated packet received via a first of the at least two paths, and a second copy of the replicated packet received via a second of the at least two paths; selecting a copy of the replicated packet from among the at least two copies of the replicated packet; inputting the selected copy of the replicated packet to a jitter buffer; discarding unselected ones of the at least two copies of the replicated packet; and outputting the selected copy of the replicated packet from the jitter buffer to a TDM endpoint device.
