Abstract
A network component comprising a processor configured to implement a method comprising promoting the communication of a frame within a synchronization window, wherein the frame comprises a plurality of data types carried in a plurality of timeslots, and wherein each timeslot is assigned to carry one of the data types, identifying an idle timeslot that is assigned to carry a first data type, and inserting a second data type into the idle timeslot. Also disclosed is a method comprising receiving a data stream comprising a plurality of timeslots, wherein each timeslot is assigned to carry one of a plurality of data types, and determining whether one of the timeslots assigned to carry a first data type contains a second data type.
