Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 8, wherein the next node of the MTN is a sink node, the method comprising:
receiving the stream of CBR rate adapted GMP frames and the modified number of idle blocks at the sink node;
performing idle mapping procedure (IMP) rate adaptation to adapt the stream of CBR rate adapted GMP frames to a local reference clock at the sink node;
determining the CBR client data stream rate of the stream of CBR client data from the GMP overhead and a difference between the fixed number of idle blocks inserted into the stream of CBR rate adapted GMP frames by the source node and the modified number of idle blocks received at the sink node; and
extracting the stream of encoded blocks of CBR client data from the stream of CBR rate adapted GMP frames using the determined CBR client data stream rate.
