Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes n electrical communication channels, m optical communication media interfaces, and a plurality of muxes. The plurality of muxes are configured to receive an information stream, the information stream carried over the n electrical communication channels and the m optical communication media interfaces. The plurality of muxes are further configured to transform the information stream from v virtual lanes, each virtual lane comprising a plurality of data blocks from the information stream and an alignment block, wherein v is a positive integer multiple of the least common multiple of m and n.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes communication channels, and m communication media interfaces, and v virtual lanes. V is a positive integer multiple of the least common multiple of m and n. An information stream is transferred into data and alignment blocks striped across all of the v virtual lanes, the blocks being communicated from the virtual lanes onto the communication channels. The blocks are received on the communication channels. Each of the communication channels transmits a different portion of the blocks striped across all of the v virtual lanes.In more particular embodiments, v>=n>=m. The communication media interfaces can be electrical and optical. Each of the communication channels can include a SerDes interface operating at least 5 Gigabits per second. Furthermore, each of the m communication media interfaces is configured to transmit a different stream of information over a single optical fiber.
