BONDING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A device that includes a plurality of transceivers configurable to simultaneously operate with a combination of bonded and unbonded transceivers. A first transceiver of the plurality of transceivers is operable at a first data rate, and a second transceiver of the plurality of transceivers is simultaneously operable at a second data rate that is different than the first data rate. The first and second transceivers are operable as bonded transceivers and wherein a third transceiver, of the plurality of transceivers, is simultaneously operable at a third data rate and the third transceiver is not bonded with any other transceiver.
