Efficient processing of time-division multiplexing based signals

Abstract:

Techniques are described herein for efficient processing of Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) based signals. In one example embodiment, a system includes a first TDM card, a second TDM card, and a processor in communication with the first TDM card and the second TDM card. The second TDM card hosts an aggregation process configured to aggregate a first TDM based signal and a second TDM based signal into a combined TDM based signal. The processor is configured to obtain a packetized version of the first TDM based signal from the first TDM card and provide the packetized version of the first TDM based signal to the second TDM card. The processor is further configured to prompt one or more packet cards to output packets based on the combined TDM based signal.
