Abstract

A system for transferring data includes an interface configured to receive data that is sent via a first link, and a processor coupled to the interface. The processor is configured to: receive data that is sent via a first link; determine whether there is discontinuity in the received data, the determination being based at least in part on information included in the received data; in the event that the received data includes a discontinuity, generate replacement data that repairs the discontinuity; and transmit at least a portion of replacement data to a second link such that a synchronization requirement associated with the second link is fulfilled.

Claims

1. A system for transferring data, comprising:

an interface configured to receive data that is sent via a first link;

a processor coupled to the interface, configured to;

determine whether there is discontinuity in the received data, the determination being based at least in part on information included in the received data;

in the event that the received data includes a discontinuity, generate replacement data that repairs the discontinuity; and

transmit at least a portion of replacement data to a second link such that a synchronization requirement associated with the second link is fulfilled
