Abstract: A network system is described having multiple network components. The multiple network components include at least one central office (CO) and at least one customer premise equipment (CPE) coupled to the at least one CO. One of either the CO or CPE captures a clock, generates a reference clock, and sends the clock to the remainder of the multiple network components to ensure synchronous operation.

Abstract: A system of expanding addressing in an addressing constrained environment. A bus that defines a limited number of addresses couples together a master and a plurality of slaves. When each slave has multiple possible target ports, a maximum granularity provided by the addressing may be exceeded. By using a portion of a transmission header as an internal address, the maximum addressing may be expanded to greater granularity. The internal address is then translated in the slave to recover the external address in the header.
