Abstract

A method for packet bypass in a communications network includes receiving a plurality of packets, determining whether each packet is a bypass packet or a non-bypass packet, and communicating the non-bypass packets toward a communication link. The method also includes communicating a plurality of the bypass packets toward the communication link between communication of two of the non-bypass packets.
