Method and system for synchronizing a transceiver and a downstream device in an optical transmission network
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing a transceiver with a downstream device in an optical transmission network, the method comprising:
- acquiring synchronization with an inbound data stream by an internal framer of said transceiver;
notifying the downstream device of said acquired synchronization of said inbound data stream; and
receiving said inbound data stream by the downstream device for processing without synchronizing to said inbound data stream.

Abstract
Aspects of the invention provide a method and system for synchronizing a transceiver and a framer in an optical transmission network. Subsequent to achieving synchronization of an inbound data stream, an internal framer may be adapted to inform a downstream device such as a full framer, that synchronization has already been attained. Accordingly, the downstream device may not need to perform resynchronization of the inbound data and can immediately start processing the inbound data. Advantageously, the internal framer may provide expedited error checking, handling and reporting prior to receipt of the data by the downstream device.
