Packet Mode Data
A half-duplex bi-directional communication
link in which data is accumulated in packets
of various lengths and sent out in a burst or
bursts so therefore does not support voice
communications. Packet switching is the
process of routing and transferring data by
means of addressed packets so that a
channel is occupied during the transmission
of the packet only. Upon completion of the
data transfer, the channel is made available
for the transfer of other traffic. Supported by
a UniLink ARINC port configured to provide
VHF and SAT capability.
