Abstract
A first network interface device receives a first synchronization signal transmitted by a second network interface device via a communication link. The first synchronization signal is for synchronizing the first network interface device and the second network interface device via the communication link. In response to detecting the first synchronization signal from the second network interface device, the first network interface device starts a timer that is configured to expire after transmission of the first synchronization signal by the second network interface device has ended. In response to the timer expiring, the first network interface device transmits a synchronization response signal to the second network interface device.
