and External BITS Clocking Source
and External BITS Clocking Source
The Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source features
introduce a new compression technique in DSP firmware and add enhancements to Cisco IOS that
include cell switching on ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR), and the use of an external BITS
clocking source. These features enable Cisco multiservice routers to be used to transparently groom and
compress traffic in a wireless service provider network and enable a service provider to optimize the
bandwidth used to backhaul the traffic from a cell site to the mobile central office for more efficient use
of existing T1 and E1 lines.
