摘要 |
The embodiments of the invention relate to a method for maximizing a payload data rate on a communication link (CL). The method contains determining a current transmission capacity of the communication link (CL) based on state information (CP-INFO, OP-INFO, E-INFO) about at least one current operating condition of the communication link (CL). The method further contains adapting based on the current transmission capacity the payload data rate and a forward error correction data rate for payload data of the payload data rate by maximizing the payload data rate. The embodiments of the invention further relate to a line card (LC) for maximizing a payload data rate on a communication link (CL). The line card (LC) contains a control unit (CU) which is configured to determine a current transmission capacity of the communication link (CL) based on state information (CP-INFO, OP-INFO, E- INFO) about at least one current operating condition of the communication link (CL). The control unit (CU) is further configured to adapt based on the current transmission capacity the payload data rate and a forward error correction data rate for payload data of the payload data rate by maximizing the payload data rate. |
