receiving a first data frame at an ingress port and generating a first timestamped data frame at the ingress port,
transmitting first timestamped data frame to a processor,
extracting the first timestamp information from the first data frame;
reading a second timestamp information from a timestamp memory;
calculating residence times and peer delays based on the first and second timestamp information;
extracting clock rate information from the first data frame;
calculating updated clock rate information based at least on the extracted clock rate information;
generating an updated and timestamped data frame based at least on the updated clock rate information, and
transmitting the updated and timestamped data frame on an egress port.
