Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting data, comprising the steps of: receiving the data in an original signal frame suitable for transmission across a synchronous network, the original signal frame including a first part containing first information and a second part containing second management information; transmitting the data between a signal source and a signal destination in the synchronous network capable of changing the second management information if the original signal frame were transmitted; generating two intermediate frames from the original signal frame during data transmission over the synchronous network; containing all of the first information in a first part of one of the intermediate frames, all of the first information remaining unchanged during the data transmission over the synchronous network; containing the second management information in a first part of the other of the intermediate frames, the second management information remaining unchanged during the data transmission over the synchronous network; retrieving the unchanged first information from the first part of the one intermediate frame; retrieving the unchanged second management information from the first part of the other intermediate frame; and generating from the retrieved unchanged information a reconstructed signal frame that is identical to the original signal frame.
