1. A system for communicating both a uniform data stream and a bursty data stream over a communication medium having a fixed capacity, the system comprisinga transmitter for buffering the uniform data stream and the bursty data stream, for interleaving the uniform data stream and the bursty data stream into an interleaved data stream, and for propagating the interleaved data stream over the medium, the interleaved data stream being composed of contiguous time intervals wherein the uniform data stream transmits at the fixed capacity during at least one of a first subset of the time intervals, and wherein the bursty data transmits at the fixed capacity during at least one of a second subset of the time intervals exclusive of the first subset, anda receiver, coupled to the medium, for processing the interleaved data stream to separate the uniform data stream and the bursty data stream.
