Abstract

Method and apparatus are provided for re-synchronizing a group of B channels in an ISDN network using the BONDING Mode 1 specification. Re-synchronization is achieved without the need to first disconnect the affected group of B channels from the network. Thus, the reliability of the bonded channels is improved while maintaining a simpler architecture than those associated with BONDING Modes 2 and 3. The solution offers improved channel reliability, improved network performance and reduced network load when channel re-synchronization becomes necessary.
