Abstract
A method of processing Ethernet signals for transport in an optical network system is disclosed. The method includes encapsulating Ethernet frames into EFP frames comprising a length header, a converged data link header, and a data area, and mapping the EFP frames into byte synchronous paths. The converged data link header replaces an Ethernet preamble of the Ethernet packet.
