Abstract
The invention relates to a method for transmitting data in a data network using virtual containers, which are combined to form a virtual concatenated group by means of the Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme, LCAS. The virtual concatenated group is sub-divided on the send side into a first virtual concatenated group and a second virtual concatenated group. Data of a first type is inserted on the send side into the first virtual concatenated group and data of the second type is inserted into the second virtual concatenated group. Said data is then transmitted via the data network.
Claims7
A method for transmitting data in a data network, comprising:
- combining virtual containers using a Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) to form a virtual concatenated group;
- splitting the virtual concatenated group into a first virtual concatenated group and a second virtual concatenated group at a transmission end;
- and
- inserting, at the transmission end, data of a first type into the first virtual concatenated group and data of a second type into the second virtual concatenated group and transmitting the data in the data network.
A network element for a data network, comprising:
- at least one device to perform:
- combining virtual containers using a Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) to form a virtual concatenated group;
- splitting the virtual concatenated group into a first virtual concatenated group and a second virtual concatenated group at a transmission end;
- and
- inserting, at the transmission end, data of a first type into the first virtual concatenated group and data of a second type into the second virtual concatenated group and transmitting the data in the data network.
