Abstract
A network access module interconnects a stand alone multi-media terminal adapter with a network controller of a frame switched network. The network access module comprises a frame switched network interface coupled to the frame switched network for communicating with the network controller. The network access module further comprises a communication link interface for communicating with the stand alone-multi media terminal adapter. A service flow module is coupled to the frame switched network interface and coupled to the communication link interface. The service flow module receives a plurality of frames of IP traffic from the multi-media terminal adapter and sorts the frames such that each frame is delivered to the frame switched network interface at a time that corresponds to a time division logical channel which corresponds to the frame. A QoS module is coupled to the service flow module and coupled to communication link interface. The QoS module generates a quality of service request for transmission to the network controller in response to receipt of a bandwidth management instruction from the multi-media terminal adapter.
