Abstract
Timing pointer signals to be transmitted across a synchronous digital hierarcy (SDH) network are transmitted in virtual containers (VC) in a number of fixed stuff bytes which were hitherto unused. In a preferred embodiment two such bytes are used to carry the timing information which allows for up to a sixteen bit code to be provided for the timing pointers.
