Frame slip
Frame slip: In the reception of framed
data, the loss of
synchronization between a received
frame and the receiver
clock, causing a frame misalignment
event, and resulting in the loss of the data contained in the received frame.
Note: A frame slip should not be confused with a dropped frame where synchronization is not lost, e.g. , in the case of buffer overflow.
