Syncronisation - The network pacemakers

This paper deals with the synchronisation problem that can have a disastrous effect on quality of service in telecoms networks. As faster and more complex services are delivered, the need for consistent timing will be even greater. Encrypted traffic is particularly susceptible to a lack of pacemakers with slow transmission. Like blood through veins, the digital bits of traffic in the network flow at a constant rate, is continuously timed by specialised electronic pacemakers
