Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, by an apparatus, a Media Access Control (MAC) frame destined for a destination device; dividing, by the apparatus, the MAC frame into frame fragments; coding the frame fragments into encoded cells; and causing, by the apparatus, transmission of selected subsets of the encoded cells, as distinct flows of the encoded cells, by respective optical physical layer transmitter devices reachable by the destination device.
