The characteristic of RTS parameters for circuit emulation application over ATM networks

The synchronous residual time stamp method (SRTS) is one of the proposed timing recovery methods for constant bit rate (CBR) services over asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. ATM adaption layer 1 (AAL1) is used to specify these CBR services and is usually called the circuit emulation application such as DS1 and DS3. The paper gives both a characteristic and conformance testing method for RTS parameters in a synchronous optical network (SONET) based broadband integrated service digital network (BISDN), which has the reference clock hierarchy derived from a 155.52 MHz network.
