That's an interesting claim. I'm in no position to defend or refute it.

If it's true, though, it suggests some interesting solutions, because one can
more easily establish trust relationships within the data-center.

I'm specifically imagining a clock signal from the Top-of-Rack switch to the
senders.

Actually, it's not a clock, so much as a automotive style timing shaft
running down through all the 1-U servers, with fine vernier adjustments :-)
I'm also certain we've seen such technology before.
