Abstract

A hub port which maintains a constant phase in a datastream and reduces jitter transfer to an attached node port. The hub port includes circuitry for maintaining constant bit boundaries for all data transmitted along the hub loop from that hub port using an internal clock. In addition, the internal clock is used to reduce jitter transfer.
