[57] ABSTRACT
A transceiving methodology and concomitant transceiving system wherein high speed, bursty channels are combined with uniform data rate services into a single, interleaved data stream. A system for communicating both a uniform data stream and a bursty data stream over a communication medium includes: (i) a transmitter for combining the uniform data stream and the bursty data stream into a single, interleaved stream, and for propagating the interleaved stream over the medium; and (ii) a receiver for processing the single interleaved stream to separate the uniform data stream and the bursty data stream.
