    Abstract: In one embodiment, a communication system includes network devices, each comprising a network interface to receive at least one data stream, a given network device being configured to recover a remote clock from the at least one data stream received by the given network device, a frequency synthesizer to generate a clock signal and output the clock signal to each of the network devices, wherein the given network device is configured to find a clock frequency differential between the clock signal and the recovered remote clock, and provide a control signal to the frequency synthesizer responsively to the clock frequency differential, the control signal causes the frequency synthesizer to adjust the clock signal so as to iteratively reduce an absolute value of the clock frequency differential between the clock signal and the recovered remote clock.

    Abstract: Network apparatus includes a plurality of interfaces, which are coupled to a network so as to receive and transmit data packets having respective link-layer headers and network-layer headers. Each link-layer header includes respective source and destination link-layer addresses and a link-layer priority value. Switching and routing logic is configured, responsively to the network-layer headers, to transfer each data packet from a respective ingress interface to a respective egress interface and to modify the source and destination link-layer addresses of the transferred data packet while copying the link-layer priority value from the ingress interface to the egress interface without modification.
