Dynamic multiplexing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dynamic multiplexing is a method of multiplex technology in which the data streams to be transmitted are converted into blocks of fixed or variable length and transmitted asynchronously. The assignment of the blocks to the different transmission channels by means of channel identification numbers ( channel-identifier to be added to each block) is realized. This is why there are also the terms address multiplexing or label multiplexing . If blocks of variable length are used for transmission, they are called packets and are referred to as packet multiplexing . On the other hand, if they have a fixed length, such as B. is the case with ATM , they are called cells and speak of cell multiplexing .
