The slave is going to use frequency tuning to syntonize with the master, rather 
than direct clock jumps. In practice, the masters are unlikely to have huge 
time jumps like this, and a stable monotonically increasing clock is more 
useful.

There should be some configurations you can set so that it will do a clock jump 
when the difference is higher than some threshold. By default, I believe it 
only jumps at the start.

Thanks,
