6.5.7 Adaptive Clock Recovery
ACR is a timing-over-packet technology that transports timing information via
periodic packet delivery over a pseudowire. ACR is used when there is no other
Stratum 1 traceable clock available.
There is no extra equipment cost to implement ACR in a network because ACR uses
the packet arrival rate of a TDM pseudowire to regenerate a clock signal. The nodes
in the network that are traversed between endpoints do not need special ACR
capabilities. However, because the TDM pseudowire is transported over Layer 2
links, the packet flow is susceptible to PDV.
Use the following recommendations to achieve the best ACR performance.

Note:
• Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) is supported only with CES MDAs on the 7210 SAS-M
configured in network mode.
• ACR is supported only on the 7210 SAS-M (both ETR and non-ETR variant) configured
in network mode with T1/E1 CES MDAs.
