Abstract

A modular approach to the mapping of data in and from a standard SDH/SONET signal is described. A module has interfaces (T0-T8) which allows to connect to it to other of its kind and thereby achieving higher data rates, i.e. access to standard signals of higher levels. By choosing among different interconnection schemes, arrangements comprising a plurality of modules are also able to support concatenated data traffic.
