1. An apparatus comprising:
an input for receiving a stream of data transmission units;
a filter configured to:
identify, in the stream of data transmission units, a first data transmission unit of a first predetermined type based on predefined identifying information; and
generate a second stream of data transmission units by removing the first data transmission unit from the first stream of data transmission units;
a protocol module configured to:
receive the second stream of data transmission units;
identify, in the second stream of data transmission units, a second data transmission unit of a second predetermined type based on second predefined identifying information; and
add protocol information to the second data transmission unit of the second predetermined type, wherein the filter is further configured provide time in the second stream of data transmission units for the addition of the protocol information prior to a start of a subsequent data transmission unit in the second stream of data transmission units, wherein the filter is configured to remove the first data transmission unit at a time when the space between the second data transmission unit of the second predetermined type and the subsequent data transmission unit is less than that required to add the protocol information; and
a transceiver configured to output signals to a transmission medium, the signals representative of the second stream of data transmission units, including the added protocol information.
