Network interface apparatus

An apparatus for providing an interface between a first network that operates based on a first protocol and a second network that operates based on a second protocol, includes a receive terminal configured to receive one or more first messages encoded according to the first protocol, the first messages encapsulating a plurality of second messages. The apparatus is configured to extract encapsulated second messages, determine for each of extracted second messages, and based on flow identifying information of each of extracted second messages, a flow to which the extracted second message belongs. The extracted second messages of the flow provide for transmission of the extracted second messages on the second network encoded based on the second protocol with a time spacing there between greater than a predetermined minimum time spacing.
