Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing data packets of differing protocols across different data channels and control channels within signals are described. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving at least one data signal, wherein the at least one data signal includes a number of channels. The number of channels includes data channels and control channels, such that each of the data channels can include different protocols and different configurations for the different protocols and such that the control channels includes control data for controlling the at least one data signal. Additionally, the method includes processing data packets in each of the number of channels in a predefined order.
