Claim Text:
1. A control device for controlling a clock signal generator, the control device comprising a processing system configured to: form a control quantity at least partly on the basis of stored reception moments of data frames belonging to a first flow that is a part of an aggregate flow, the reception moments being time values based on a first clock signal and the data frames belonging to the first flow being transmitted in accordance with a second clock signal, control the clock signal generator with the control quantity so as to achieve synchronization between the first clock signal and the second clock signal, check whether pre-determined bits of a received data frame of the aggregate flow constitute a first bit pattern, the first bit pattern occurring when the received data frame belongs to the first flow, and in response to a situation in which the first bit pattern occurs, store the reception moment of the received data frame so that the stored reception moment is associated with the first flow.
