1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processing system comprising processing circuitry coupled to memory circuitry;
wherein the processing system is configured to be communicatively coupled to a communications management system and at least one Internet protocol (IP) radio;
wherein the processing system is configured to convert data, from the communications management system, from an Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) 429 protocol into at least one of a transport layer protocol, an IP, and an Ethernet protocol by;
extracting payload data from each link data unit (LDU) of the data in the ARINC 429 protocol;
forming a total data payload by combining the payload data from each LDU;
creating at least one of;
at least one transport layer segment each of which comprises at least a portion of the total data payload, where each transport layer segment has a transport layer segment header;
at least one IP packet by generating an IP packet header for each of the at least one transport layer segment, and adding the IP packet header to the corresponding transport layer segment; and
at least one Ethernet frame by generating an Ethernet header and an Ethernet trailer for each of the at least one IP packet, and adding the Ethernet header and the Ethernet trailer to respectively the beginning and end of the corresponding IP packet; and
wherein the processing system is configured to convert data, from the at least one IP radio, from the Ethernet protocol to the ARINC 429 protocol by;
extracting at least one of data payloads of each transport layer segment and datagrams of each IP packet;
creating a total data payload by combining one of the extracted data payloads and the extracted datagrams;
segmenting the total data payload into segmented payload data; and
generating a link data unit (LDU) for each segmented payload data.

9. A method, comprising:
-
receiving data in an Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) 429 protocol from a communications management system; converting data in the ARINC 429 protocol to an Ethernet protocol by; extracting payload data from each link data unit (LDU) of the data in the ARINC 429 protocol; forming a total data payload by combining the payload data from each LDU; creating at least one of; at least one transport layer segment each of which comprises at least a portion of the total data payload, where each transport layer segment has a transport layer segment header; at least one IP packet by generating an IP packet header for each of the at least one transport layer segment, and adding the IP packet header to the corresponding transport layer segment; and at least one Ethernet frame by generating an Ethernet header and an Ethernet trailer for each of the at least one IP packet, and adding the Ethernet header and the Ethernet trailer to respectively the beginning and end of the corresponding IP packet; transmitting the converted data to an IP radio; receiving data in an Ethernet protocol, Internet protocol (IP), and transport layer protocol from an IP radio; converting the data in the Ethernet protocol to the Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC
429) protocol by;extracting at least one of data payloads of each transport layer segment and datagrams of each IP packet; creating a total data payload by combining one of the extracted data payloads and the extracted datagrams; segmenting the total data payload into segmented payload data; and generating a link data unit (LDU) for each segmented payload data; and transmitting the converted data to a communications management system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
