Synonym bilateral synchronization.

A synchronization control system between exchanges A and B in which the clock at exchange A controls the data received at exchange B and the clock at exchange B controls the data received at exchange A.
Note: Bilateral synchronization is usually implemented by deriving the timing from the incoming bit stream. Synonym bilateral control.
