Abstract
A data transmission system, including a plurality of transmitters for transmitting a stream of multiplexed packets over a broadband channel, the packets being constructed from a stream of variable length data blocks, each of the blocks originating from different sources. The system also includes a plurality of receivers for receiving the stream of packets from the broadband channel and reconstructing the stream of variable length data blocks. The data blocks are distributed over one or more packets. The packets also include a packet header having a source identifier (SID) for identifying the source of the packet, and the first of the packets further including a block header having a block identifier (BID) for identifying the data block being transmitted.
