An Ethernet mapping enables high speed Ethernet data streams having a data rate of 10 Gb/s to be transported across a synchronous packet switched network fabric having a standard SONET OC-192 line rate of 9.953280 Gbaud. The 10 Gb/s Ethernet data stream is compressed by removing interfra
A networking device and method for transparently modifying a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of a message so that higher layers (e.g., data link layer and above) can detect error duplication caused by scrambling and descrambling. No increase in the size of the messaging is needed so that
A system, method and apparatus for storing data using an optical medium. The medium is initialized and data is inserted into the medium, read from the medium and reinserted into the medium. Queues, random access storage devices and other similar structures are formed according to this
