Abstract
The invention provides a novel scheme to match the clock rates along a single transmission channel. The rate matching aspect of this invention receives a character stream synchronized by a first clock and buffers the character streams. Buffered characters are then transmitted over an output channel synchronized by a second clock. The rate matching system removes one or more filler or removable characters from the output channel if an overflow condition is detected and inserts one or more filler or removable characters in the output channel if an underflow condition is detected.
