Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a first network layer device configured to communicate data with a second network layer device over a data transmission medium that comprises a wire, and to perform operations comprising:
establishing an asymmetric data link between the first network layer device and the second network layer device over the data transmission medium, in accordance with a networking standard, data being communicated over the asymmetric data link in a first direction from the first network layer device to the second network layer device at a first data rate, data being communicated over the asymmetric data link in a second direction from the second network layer device to the first network layer device using a second data rate that is lower than the first data rate;
generating, using a common local clock signal associated with the first network layer device, a first data signal that carries first data, the first data signal being transmitted from the first network layer device to the second network layer device over the asymmetric data link;
receiving, from the second network layer device, a second data signal that carries second data over the asymmetric data link; and
extracting the second data from the second data signal by oversampling the second data signal using the common local clock signal that is used to generate the first data signal.
