A stream of communications traffic (102) is processed by a time shifting disperser device (108). The device senses the burstiness (212) of the received stream of communications traffic and stores individual frames of the received stream of communications traffic for a specified time delay (204) calculated as function of the sensed burstiness. Following the calculated delay (214), the frame traffic is clocked out (206) from the device (102) to be combined with (added to) (110) other streams of communications traffic for transport over a shared media communications link (114). In instances where each of the plural streams of communications traffic are processed by an associated disperser device, individual time delays are calculated as function not only of the sensed burstiness but also of a delay determined by a transport network management (operation and maintenance) system (116) from noted correlations in bursts between the multiple streams of communications traffic. Coordination of the time shifting operation thus occurs so as to reduce burstiness correlation between the multiple streams of communications traffic. |
