    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device includes frequency generation circuitry configured to generate a clock signal, a phase-locked loop (PLL) configured to generate a local clock based on the clock signal, a receiver configured to receive a data stream from a remote clock source and recover a remote clock from the data stream, and a controller configured to find a clock differential between the local clock and the remote clock identified as a master dock, and provide a control signal to the frequency generation circuitry responsively to the clock differential, which causes the frequency generation circuitry to adjust the clock signal so as to iteratively reduce an absolute value of the clock differential between the local clock and the remote clock identified as the master clock so that the local clock generated by the PLL is synchronized with the master clock.

    Abstract: In certain exemplary embodiments, a switching device is provided, including an input interface configured to communicate with a packet source, an output interface configured to communicate with a packet destination, and packet processing circuitry. The packet processing circuitry is configured to receive a plurality of packets from the packet source via the input interface, each of the plurality of packets being associated with a packet descriptor, at least one of the packet descriptors being a transmission time packet descriptor including a desired physical transmission time for the packet associated with the transmission time packet descriptor, to receive an indication of a clock time, and for each packet associated with a transmission time packet descriptor, to physically transmit the packet associated with the transmission time packet descriptor, via the output interface, at a clock time corresponding to the desired physical transmission time. Related apparatus an methods are also provided.

    Abstract: Communication apparatus includes a host interface and a network interface, which receives from a packet communication network at least one packet stream including a sequence of data packets, which include headers containing respective sequence numbers and data payloads containing slices of the data segment having a predefined, fixed size per slice. Packet processing circuitry is configured to receive the data packets from the network interface, and to map the data payloads of the data packets in the at least one packet stream, using a linear mapping of the sequence numbers, to respective addresses in the buffer.
