    Traffic is directed to and from the H.110 bus by any ForeFront function card in unidirectional nx64kbps timeslots. The basic building blocks of the 6081RC are PPP channels. PPP channels can be bridged or routed. When a 6081RC PPP channel operates in bridge mode, data arriving on an H.110 port from remote devices is for- warded—at the layer 2 level—to the assigned interface (Ethernet or another H.110).

    In bridged Ethernet applications, the 6081RC functions as an Ethernet hub for interconnecting G.SHDSL access lines and an Ethernet LAN. Functioning as a hub, the 6081RC delivers data traffic to and from all inter- faces (H.110 ports and up to three Ethernet LAN interfaces) by means of Ethernet bridging at the data link layer (layer 2 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model).

    In the 6081RC context, the H.110 ports act as WAN ports connecting to remote and local devices. For instance, defined H.110 ports on the 6081RC will connect at the physical level to other function cards in the same chassis such as the 3096RC, 3196RC, 6511RC, 3125RC, or another 6081RC.
