Concatenation - This is a
mechanism that
provides
continuous bandwidth through a network for transporting a payload
associated with a "superrate service" such as SONET
or
SDH. The set of bits in the payload is treated as a single entity and
accepted, multiplexed, switched, transported, and delivered as a single
piece of data.
Applications that might use concatenation include bandwidth-intensive
video
such
as HDTV and full motion video. Concatenation also refers to the
act
of linking together two or more objects and/or systems to improve
something.
