your GE x-connect, in this instance, is basically a serial line - see the TX
and RX fibres in the GBIC?
conversations would occur one at a time, and be multuplexed (statistically
Mux-ed). The conversations would be queued and transmitted one frame at a
time, but that frames from the conversations would traverse the link in a
FIFO manner (First In, First Out).
hope that makes sense (as opposed to hth)
