A translation engine is provided for efficiently translating SDH/SONET frames (101) to Ethernet frames (105) and vice versa. In accordance with one embodiment, a translation system includes a buffer (103) for holding SDH/SONET (101) and Ethernet frames (105). An Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) address for a corresponding SDH/SONET TDM slot (103 E-103 F) further provided. A translation engine for translating SDH/SONET frames (101) into Ethernet frames (105) is in communication with an output interface. The SDH/SONET payload (101 A) is sent through a translation engine to translate the SDH / SONET payload (101 A) into an Ethernet payload (105 A). For translating from Ethernet to SDH / SONET, a reverse process occurs.
