Abstract
A method of transferring a serial data stream to a data framer includes converting the serial data stream to parallel data streams. The parallel data streams are synchronized and formed into one or more groups of synchronized parallel data streams. The one or more groups of synchronized parallel data streams are then transferred to the data framer at a transfer rate determined by the forming of the one or more groups.

A method of transferring a serial data stream to a data framer comprising:
- converting the serial data stream to parallel data streams;
- synchronizing the parallel data streams into synchronized parallel data streams;
- forming a group of the synchronized parallel data streams;
- and
- transferring the group of synchronized parallel data streams to the data framer at a transfer rate that corresponds to a size of the group.
A system for transferring a serial data stream to a data framer, the system comprising circuitry to:
- convert the serial data stream to parallel data streams;
- synchronize the parallel data streams into synchronized parallel data streams;
- form a group of the synchronized parallel data streams;
- and
- transfer the group of synchronized parallel data streams to the data framer at a transfer rate that corresponds to a size of the group.
An article comprising a machine-readable medium which stores executable instructions to transfer serial data to a data framer, the instructions causing a machine to:
- convert the serial data stream to parallel data streams;
- synchronize the parallel data streams into synchronized parallel data streams;
- form a group of the synchronized parallel data streams;
- and
- transfer the group of synchronized parallel data streams to the data framer at a transfer rate that corresponds to a size of the group.
