Abstract
The present invention is directed toward the low latency transport of signals demanding rapid communication. In modems utilizing an error-correcting protocol, messages are generally buffered and sent as a data packet. However, the method in accordance with the invention provides for transport of low latency messages without buffering or formation of a data packet, minimizing signal latency. In addition, modems operating in accordance with the invention maintain compatibility with other modems.
