Methods and apparatus for implementing a technique for determining a data ra te of a serial bitstream using pattern recognition and for matching a clock spe ed of a deserializer to that data rate. In one implementation, a port (100) for connecting a network device (110) to a network includes a data input for receiving a bitstream from a network, where the bitstream has a data rate; a deserializer (115) connected to the data input, where the deserializer (115) deserializes the bitstream received via the data input, generating data characters; and a network device (110) connected to the deserializer (115), where the network device (110) receives data characters from the deserialize r (115) and determines the data rate of the bitstream by recognizing patterns in the data characters generated by the deserializer (115). In another implementation, a node port (100) also sets a clock speed of the deserialize r (115) to match the data rate of the bitstream. |
