Encapsulating packets into a frame includes receiving the packets at a station of a number of stations of a network. Each packet is associated with a delay requirement that reflects a deadline corresponding to at least one of the stations. The packets are directed to queues of the station. An available channel of the network is detected. It is determined that one or more packets at a queue are ready to be encapsulated into a frame in accordance with the delay requirements. The one or more packets are encapsulated into the frame for transmission using the available channel.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 20, 2004 and granted March 5, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 20, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 20, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
