Abstract

Systems and methods for delivering two data streams via two buses allow one of the buses to be used for delivering selected elements of the data stream that is primarily being delivered by the other bus. At an input rerouting circuit, the selected elements are rerouted from the second data stream into the first data stream; a token inserted in the second data stream identifies a position of the rerouted element. The modified streams are transmitted by the two buses. A receiving circuit reinserts the rerouted data element into the second data stream at the sequential position identified by the placeholder token.
