DCE stands for, among other things
Data circuit-terminating equipment
Distributed computing environment
Dust control equipment
Department of Correctional Education
Division of Continuing Education
I will grant that only the first and second are relevant to the CCIE
level. But I'd be a little less certain that you
(1) have defined DCE precisely
(2) haven't excluded some significant upper layer protocols.
Incidentally, Data Circuit Termination Equipment does not necessarily
supply clock. It does only on synchronous interfaces. Asynchronous
and isochronous DCE do not provide clock, although isochronous DCE
may enforce implicit clocking.
