1. A networking module comprising:
- a first block to receive a serial digital media signal, and to generate a parallel digital media signal based on the serial digital media signal; and
a second block to receive an incoming frame, and operative with the first block, to store the generated parallel digital media signal in a corresponding slot in the incoming frame to generate an outgoing frame, wherein the second block is to transmit the outgoing frame in response to receipt of another incoming frame, and wherein the outgoing frame includes network addressing information in addition to the generated parallel digital media signal.

15. A networking module comprising:
-
a first block to receive a serial digital media signal, and generate a parallel digital media signal based on the serial digital media signal; and a second block, operative with the first block, to store the parallel digital media signal in a corresponding slot in an outgoing frame, and to send the outgoing frame in response to receiving an incoming frame; wherein the second block is coupled to first and second ports, the incoming and the outgoing frames are received and sent, respectively, via the first port, wherein when the second block determines that the first port has failed, the second block receives subsequent incoming frames from the second port and sends subsequent outgoing frames to the second port.
