Abstract
A method of transmitting digital signals (DI) in frames which include a stuffing field between nodes (N) in a network, each node having a buffer and a local clock for producing local clock signals (CLK2). The method includes the steps of extracting clock signals (CLK1) from the digital signals (DI), writing the digital signals into a buffer at the extracted clock signal (CLK1) rate, reading the digital signals from the buffer including reading the content of the stuffing field in order to add or substrate stuffing bits therein in order to compensate for differences in frequencies between the local and extracted clock signals (CLK1, CLK2), and controlling the adding or subtracting of stuffing bits so that the length of the stuffing field is within predetermined limits.
