An apparatus comprising at least one component configured to implement a method comprising inserting best effort packet (BEP) data into a synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)/synchronous optical network (SONET) frame without encapsulating or refraining the BEP data. Also disclosed is an apparatus comprising a SDH/SONET framer, and a multiplexer coupled to the SDH/SONET framer, wherein the multiplexer is configured to receive native-form BEP data. Included is an apparatus comprising at least one component configured to implement a method comprising receiving time division multiplexed (TDM) data, receiving BEP data, switching the TDM data using a TDM switch fabric, switching the BEP data using a packet switch fabric, and transmitting at least some of the TDM data and the BEP data over a single interface without encapsulating the BEP data. |
