1. (Computers) process of adding extra bits to a data stream before transmission (adjusts data and frames to suit communications protocols - the extra bits are discarded after the data is received). bit stuffinga protocol which guarantees the receiver of synchronous data can recover the sender's clock. when the data stream sent contains a large number of adjacent bits which cause no transition of the signal, the receiver cannot adjust its clock to maintain proper synchronised reception. to eliminate the possibility of such a pathological case, when a preset number of transitionless bits have been transmitted, a bit which does cause a transition is stuffed (transmitted) by the sender. the receiver follows the same protocol and removes the stuffed bit after the specified number of transitionless bits, but can use the stuffed bit to recover the sender's clock
