Abstract

In a packet switched communications system an incoming real-time packet is imbedded after the next block of data of the non-real-time packet being transmitted. This object is accomplished by transmitting each packet along with at least a 1-byte trailer which is used to indicate the packet type, whether the current block of non real time data is preempted or whether the current block of non real time data is resumed.
