Abstract
A method for communicating information in a communication network having a first high speed device, a second high speed device, and a low speed device includes transferring data between the first high speed device and the second high speed device at a first rate and transferring data between the first high speed device and the low speed device at a second rate different from the first rate. Transferring data between the first high speed device and the low speed device at a second rate different from the first rate includes receiving at the first rate, at a buffer system, data from the first high speed device and transmitting at the second rate, to the low speed device, data from the buffer system. Transferring data between the first high speed device and the low speed device at a second rate different from the first rate also includes receiving at the second rate, at the buffer system, data from the low speed device and transmitting at the first rate, to the high speed device, data from the buffer system.
