A broadband network system configured to transfer user datagram protocol
with value-added (UDPVA) packet from to a broadband interface unit
(BIntU) transceiver. The broadband network system may comprise a data
distribution center and the BIntU transceiver. The BIntU transceiver is
configured to generate the UDPVA packet. The BIntU transceiver includes
an encoder/decoder (codec) configured to alternatively code or decode UDP
frame information and a digital signal processor (DSP) portion. The DSP
portion is coupled to the codec. In one aspect, the DSP portion includes
a stack that temporarily stores the UDPVA packet within the stack. In one
aspect, the UDPVA packet is in a form to be transmitted directly to a
network destination address device. In another aspect, the UDPVA packet
is available to delivery to a network destination address or storage
located on a local area network or a wide area network. In certain
aspects, the BIntU transceiver is configured to transmit the UDPVA packet
to the data distribution center.
