The present invention relates to the transferring of data via a shared medium between nodes in a time multiplexed network, wherein said data is transferred in time slots in one or more bitstreams. To obtain an efficient network, the synchronisation of parallel bitstreams is of great importance. A high degree of utility is provided by time slot reuse. The above-mentioned characteristics are obtained by regenerating each bitstream as a whole in a node. This also solves problems with dispersion, attenuation, clock gap and clock extraction. The invention is preferably provided using WDM in a DTM network.
