Abstract
A process for removing skew across a set of at least two clients that are members of a particular trunk, the skew removed from a data path from a first communications system component to a second communications system component. The process using a deskew marker to initiate storage of a set of idle primitives in a FIFO for client member of the particular trunk. Releasing in lockstep, idle primitives for the set of FIFO for the set of client members of the particular trunk after receipt of the final deskew marker. Continuing to route subsequent data for the set of clients for that particular trunk through the set of FIFO for the set of clients for that particular trunk. The data path from the first communications system component to the second communications system component may include traversing a fiber optic network.
