Abstract
A method of minimizing SID difference of simultaneously transmitted cells in two or more data communication lines is provided. A data transmission speed of each of the two or more data communication lines is identified. A fullness threshold of at least one buffer of two or more buffers in a transmit node is configured in relation to a size of a data cell for transmission. The two or more buffers correspond to respective ones of the two or more data communication lines. The at least one buffer communicates with a given one of the two or more data communication lines having a data transmission speed slower than another of the two or more data communication lines. One or more data cells for transmission are assigned to the two or more buffers of the two or more data communication lines at the transmit node. The one or more data cells are transmitted from the transmit node to a receive node in accordance with the data transmission speeds of the two or more data communication lines. The fullness threshold of the at least one buffer controls assignment of data cells to the at least one buffer during data cell transmission on the given data communication line and minimizes SID difference …
