Abstract
Synchronization plays an important role in digital communication networks. A procedure for synchronizing the local clocks in an 
-node network is explored in this concise paper. The procedure, termed "discrete control correction," utilizes buffer contents and rates to derive correction signals to the local VCXO\´s. The system is formulated as a second-order matrix difference equation, which is examined for stability. A two-node network is analyzed as an example, and stability bounds are determined for the control parameters.
