b. The "Transmitting" Network Element will notify the remote terminal of this "negative-stuff" event by
inverting certain bits within the "pointer word" (within the H1 and H2 bytes) that are referred to as "D" bits.
Figure 53 presents an illustration of the bit format within the 16-bit word (consisting of the H1 and H2 bytes)
with the "D" bits designated.

NOTE: At this time the "D" bits are inverted in order to denote that a "decrementing" pointer adjustment event is currently
occurring.
During the STS-1 frame that follows the "Negative Byte-Stuffing" Event
The "D" bits (within the pointer-word) will be set back to their normal value; and the contents of the H1 and H2
bytes will be decremented by one.
