A communication system, network, interface, and port architecture are provided for transporting of data across a network. The network can be arranged by connecting the ports in a daisy chain fashion to achieve a ring architecture or topology. The network forwards data according to a specific network protocol. A first port forwards frames having time information, where the time information is divided into several pieces, each piece being transmitted in a single frame. A second port receives these frames, stores them in a frame buffer and reassembles the time information from a plurality of frames. |
