Abstract
A system and method for synchronizing a clock for data transmissions. A data packet is received at a remote node. A timing characteristic of the data packet corresponds to a tick of a clock form a reference clock. A tick of the clock is determined based on the timing characteristic of the data packet. A secondary clock is disciplined with the reference clock by adjusting the secondary clock based on a difference between times measured by the reference clock and the secondary clock to generate a clock signal. The clock signal is communicated to one or more interfaces.
