Abstract
A method of combining multiple data streams of a Fibre Channel network by encoding the first, second or more data streams of the Fibre Channel network and merging the encoded first, second or more data streams into a plurality of frames. The encoding comprises creating packets of information from each of the first, second or more data streams and adding (inserting) identification information to each of the plurality of PCM frames.

18. A method of combining multiple data streams of a Fibre Channel network, said method comprising:
-
creating packets of information from each of the first and second data streams by;
capturing words of each of the data streams;
determining a content of each of the captured words; and
formatting each of the captured words according to its determined content;
merging the encoded first and second data streams into a plurality of frames; and
adding identification information to each of the frames. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of combining multiple data streams of a Fibre Channel network, said method comprising:
-
creating packets of information from each of first and second data streams;
merging the encoded first and second data streams into a plurality of frames; and
adding identification information to each of the frames including at least one of the following;
inserting a sync pattern into each of the frames;
inserting an increment frame counter into each of the frames;
inserting a current time into each of the frames; and
inserting encoding information into each of the created frames.

25. A method of combining multiple data streams of a plurality of avionics units networked with a Fibre Channel network having nodes, at least one node having an interface for transmitting at least some of the multiple data streams, said method comprising:
-
encoding the transmitted multiple data streams of said at least one node of the Fibre Channel network; and
merging the encoded multiple data streams into a plurality of frames. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
