Abstract: In one embodiment, a communication system includes network devices, each comprising a network interface to receive at least one data stream, a given network device being configured to recover a remote clock from the at least one data stream received by the given network device, a frequency synthesizer to generate a clock signal and output the clock signal to each of the network devices, wherein the given network device is configured to find a clock frequency differential between the clock signal and the recovered remote clock, and provide a control signal to the frequency synthesizer responsively to the clock frequency differential, the control signal causes the frequency synthesizer to adjust the clock signal so as to iteratively reduce an absolute value of the clock frequency differential between the clock signal and the recovered remote clock.

Abstract: A network adapter includes a network port for communicating with a communication network, a hardware clock, and circuitry. The circuitry is coupled to receive from the communication network, via the network port, one or more time-protocol packets that convey a network time used for synchronizing network devices in the communication network, to align the hardware clock to the network time conveyed in the time-protocol packets, and to make the network time available to one or more time-service consumers running in a host served by the network adapter.

Abstract: A network element one or more network ports, network time circuitry and packet processing circuitry. The network ports are configured to communicate with a communication network. The network time circuitry is configured to track a network time defined in the communication network. In some embodiments the packet processing circuitry is configured to receive a definition of one or more timeslots that are synchronized to the network time, and to send outbound packets to the communication network depending on the timeslots. In some embodiments the packet processing circuitry is configured to process inbound. packets, which are received from the communication network, depending on the timeslots.

Abstract: Described embodiments include an apparatus that includes circuitry, configured to facilitate writing to a shared memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to compute a local current-version number by incrementing a shared current-version number that is stored in the shared memory. The processor is further configured to, subsequently to computing the local current-version number, using the circuitry, atomically write at least part of the local current-version number to a portion of the shared memory that is referenced by the local current-version number. The processor is further configured to, subsequently to atomically writing the at least part of the local current-version number, store data in the shared memory in association with the at least part of the local current-version number, and subsequently to storing the data, atomically overwrite the shared current-version number with the local current-version number. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A method includes presenting, by a processing device, in a user interface of a display device, a set of menu items associated with a plurality of criteria and detecting one or more input signals from one or more selections of the set of menu items. The method includes creating a command that includes one or more criteria corresponding to selected options of the plurality of criteria derived from the one or more input signals. The method includes sending, by the processing device, the command to a network adapter device to trigger a polling operation to be performed that causes internal logic of the network adapter device to sample event data associated with a latency of data packets sent by a hardware process that is specific to the one or more criteria.

Abstract: A device includes a hardware block to perform a hardware process and internal logic coupled between a processing device, which executes instructions, and the hardware block. The internal logic can one of measure execution time or count clock cycles of at least a portion of the hardware process. The internal logic can further, in response to the measured execution time or the counted clock cycles satisfying a predetermined condition, provide data associated with the one of the execution time measurement or the clock cycles count to the processing device, the data being statistically indicative of a latency of data packets sent by the hardware process over a total time the hardware process executes.
