Simultaneous transmission of several Ethernet connections with a lower transmission rate via an Ethernet connection with a higher transmission rate

摘要

The invention relates to a method for transmitting Ethernet frames (110) of a first transmission rate in Ethernet bitstream blocks (120) of a second transmission rate, the second transmission rate being 2n higher than the first transmission rate, each Ethernet bitstream block (120 ) of the second transmission rate is divided into a number of sections each consisting of n time slots (111, 112, 113), each Ethernet frame (110) of the first transmission rate being broken down into frame parts of a certain size such that one frame part in each time slot is transferable, wherein a frame part is transmitted in a time slot (111, 112, 113), and a method for generating Ethernet frames (110) of the first transmission rate from Ethernet bitstream blocks (120) of the second transmission rate, whereby Ethernet bitstream blocks (120) of the second transmission rate each having a number of sections of n time slots each (111, 112, 113) are received, the Ethernet frames (110) being combined from data contained in the time slots (111, 112, 113).
