METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SWITCHING PACKET/TDM INCLUDING TDM CIRCUIT AND CARRIER ETHERNET PACKET SIGNAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for switching packet/TDM including a TDM circuit and a carrier Ethernet packet signal are provided to switch a TDM circuit signal and a carrier Ethernet signal and to transfer a packet without restriction. CONSTITUTION: A packet/TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) selection unit(310) classifies an Ethernet packet signal, which is received from an Ethernet matching unit(100), into a TDM signal. A packet switch(330) switches a signal in which the conversion of a TDM signal path is required. A TDM switch(350) switches the signal in which the conversion of the Ethernet packet signal path is required. A converter(370) performs the conversion of the Ethernet packet signal.
