Abstract
A method, apparatus and system are provided for bundle skew management and cell synchronization. According to one embodiment, determination is made as to whether a link upon which a cell was received was an expected link in a predetermined round-robin order. If the link upon which the cell was received was not the expected link in the round-robin order, a wait for arrival of a cell on the expected link for up to the value of a timer for the expected link is made. If the link is not the expected link, the link may be removed from the round-robin order and cell synchronization may be performed.
