ABSTRACT:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method of synchronizing two ends of a bi-directional network communication path includes the following. A sequence of predetermined characters are repeatedly transmitted from an end of a bi-directional network communication path if reception is lost at that end. Synchronization or resynchronization occurs from both ends if the sequence of predetermined characters is received at the other end.
