<p>A hub port (200) in a hub which preferably eliminates the transfer of jitter in the signal transmitted to an attached node port. In one embodiment, jitter transfer is preferably eliminated by transmitting data to an attached node port (212) using a local clock signal internal to the hub rather than a clock signal recovered from the datastream. The hub port includes smoothing circuits (220) to synchronize data received from the attached node port to the local clock.</p> |
