FAS - What does it mean?

[Mr.Bad]

Could anyone please explain to me the meaning of FAS in relation to IP telephony? Google does not help much on this topic.

Thanks

Frame Alignment Sequence , represented by a repeated pattern, ensures that the frames are correctly synchronized and that the bits are being correctly interpreted by the receiver.

Thanks for your responce, but the FAS in the contexts you describe relates to transmission networks and not to IP Telephony.

Guess I'm still looking for and explanation

Surely its important to get a VOIP calls packets/bits in the correct sequence I'd hate to hear the last syllable of a word before the first one.
