Ethernet[edit]

It depends on the level you look at. In plain old Ethernet, the blocks are asynchronous, but within a Block the phase encoded signal carries the clock information, and transmission is synchronous within a block. And in the survey article of Paul Teehan et al., they write on page 419 that Gigabit ethernet is plesiochronous.

Please see also the discussion in Talk:Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling.

See also order[edit]

MOS:SEEALSO says, "A bulleted list, preferably alphabetized...". Srleffler says, "Alphabetization is not the only nor always the best way to organize lists." OK, so what is the ordering scheme you're using here? ~Kvng (talk) 13:52, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The original ordering put the most directly relevant links first: a broad-concept article on synchronization, and then links to other related types of system. Plesiochronous, isochronous, synchronous, and mesochronous timing are all related concepts. Clock drift, jitter, and buffers are less relevant, so it makes sense to list them after the more critical terms. As an alternative to alphabetizing the whole list, I broke the entries into two groups and alphabetized the groups.--Srleffler (talk) 16:14, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. Your subsections solution should discourage other editors from reordering ~Kvng (talk) 15:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Linking through redirect[edit]

I reverted this edit. For the relevant guideline, see WP:NOTBROKEN. More fundamentally, though, telecommunications is not the plural of telecommunication. Telecommunication is the act or process of communicating at a distance. Telecommunications (which is a singular noun) is the science or industry of telecommunication. Telecommunications is the correct link here; links should always point to the correct concept, even if that concept redirects elsewhere.--Srleffler (talk) 16:24, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed this was about plural and asked for clarification at Wikipedia_talk:Redirect#WP:NOTBROKEN. I was apparently double mistaken. I have added {{r with possibilities}} to the Telecommunications redirect. ~Kvng (talk) 15:31, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
