Abstract
There is no common clock between two system over an asynchronous interface, such as an asynchronous network or bus. The rate of data transmission of constant bit rate data from one system can be considered constant when averaged over time. A receive system can synchronize its system clock by using timing information derived by counting received packets over a predetermined period of time.
