Abstract
A circuit structure for a transmission network node for transmitting high bit-rate, IP-based time division-multiplexed signals, especially for an optical Multi-Gigabit Ethernet. The structure includes a bidirectional remote ports at two sides, each receiving and transmitting time-division multiplexed signals. Each time division-multiplexed signal has a frame structure with a number of virtual time slots each transporting certain contents. The path-switch unit is constructed to execute switching functions for realizing a drop function, a pass-through function, and a drop-and-continue function. Channel cards and network structures are also provided.
