Abstract
Aspects of the invention provide a method and system for synchronizing a transceiver and a framer in an optical transmission network. Subsequent to achieving synchronization of an inbound data stream, an internal framer may be adapted to inform a downstream device such as a full framer, that synchronization has already been attained. Accordingly, the downstream device may not need to perform resynchronization of the inbound data and can immediately start processing the inbound data. Advantageously, the internal framer may provide expedited error checking, handling and reporting prior to receipt of the data by the downstream device.
