Abstract
An integrated communications link in a communications network that is provided with apparatus which allows dynamic allocability of bandwidth among a plurality of channels. At least three different types of information can be carried on these channels, and the bandwidth of these channels are dynamic so that it can be changed according to a determinable scheme. The link also sends error control information with a message that informs the receiver how the bandwidth is to be allocated, this error control information providing an extremely high level of assurance that the receiver of the information will know how the received information is to be allocated.
