Abstract :
This work proposes a data processing method suitable for mapping packet-based traffic into TDM (time division multiplexing) time slots. Packets in a data stream are mapped separately into discrete tributaries, according to their destinations. Thus this method enables TDM switches to be used in the switch fabric of routers, leading to a new architecture for communication systems.
