Abstract
A communications device, particularly but not exclusively for use with a routing circuit, transmits and receives message packets. An output buffer converts data and flow-control information into a plurality of bit sequences and transmits them at a predetermined frequency. An input buffer decodes informing sequences into data items and flow control information. The input buffer can store the data items and count them and transmit flow control information to the output buffer.
