Abstract
A method and system are provided for the detection and compensation of frame offset discontinuities for tandem connection trails in general and especially to frame offset discontinuities occurring at the entrance of a network element in a Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) system. More specifically, a method of transmitting data in a synchronous hierarchic network system comprising at least a path segment between a first network element and at least a second network element on which tandem connection monitoring (TC) method is established for monitoring transmission of information over the path segment is characterised by detection of frame offset discontinuities at the first network element on the basis of the detection of an alteration of the pointer value.
