Abstract
A method is disclosed for optimizing the operation of a packet transport system generating a packet stream carrying a plurality of component signals, and includes the following steps. First the packet stream is partitioned into successive groups, each group containing a predetermined number of packet slots. A plurality of lists are maintained, one associated with each packet slot in a group. A packet stream is generated by placing data representing a component signal selected in response to entries in the list associated with that packet slot into the packet slot. The contents of the plurality of lists are updated based on a predetermined parameter.
