Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving on a first compute device first training data scrambled using a transmitting linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) on a second compute device; determining a first set of past output values used by the transmitting LFSR to scramble the first training data by comparing the first training data with expected data stored on the first compute device; determining future output values of the transmitting LFSR based on the first set of past output values; receiving on the first compute device second training data scrambled using the transmitting LFSR; determining a second set of past output values used by the transmitting LFSR to scramble the second training data by comparing the second training data with the expected data; and upon determining the future output values match the second set of past output values, synchronizing a receiving LFSR on the first compute device to the transmitting LFSR.
