Abstract

Systems and methods for employing asynchronous transceivers in synchronous data communications. For example, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver may be used to support SONET/SDH communications with or without G.709 coding. Such a transceiver is clocked with a recovered clock signal when a received synchronous signal is available and with a locally generated clock when no such remotely generated signal is available.
