Definitions for "clocking"
Turning back the odometer reading
Clocking involves reducing the mileage of a vehicle by turning back the odometer. It is a common trick used by unscrupulous sellers to obtain a higher price and research shows that on average 1 in 12 vehicles have some sort of discrepancy. The average car does 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year, so if you think the mileage is inconsistent with the age and condition of the car it is worth investigating further.
See Synchronization.
An oscillator-generated signal that provides a timing reference for a transmission link. A clock provides signals used in a transmission system to control the timing of certain functions. The clock has two functions: (1) to generate periodic signals for synchronization, and (2) to provide a time base.
A network function that keeps transmission interfaces and customer premise equipment in step with one another to prevent the loss of the signal. Channel Synchronization is created by the CSU/DSU at each end of the circuit. Network Synchronization is created by digital communications links within the service provider's network.
