Abstract :
A new method of retiming plesiochronous data is described. This method features latency of less than a cell-time and requires only minimal support circuitry. No flow control or handshaking signals are used, allowing true undirectional signalling between transmitter and receiver. Application areas include communication networks in parallel computers, and general communication network repeaters, hubs, bridges, and routers
