Abstract: A network device includes a port, a transmission pipeline and a time-stamping circuit. The port is configured for connecting to a network. The transmission pipeline includes multiple pipeline stages and is configured to process packets and to send the packets to the network via the port. The time-stamping circuit is configured to temporarily suspend at least some processing of at least a given packet in the transmission pipeline, to verify whether a pipeline stage having a variable processing delay, located downstream from the time-stamping circuit, meets an emptiness condition, and, only when the pipeline stage meets the emptiness condition, to time-stamp the given packet and resume the processing of the given packet.

Abstract: A network node includes a port and circuitry. The port is configured for communicating over a packet network. The circuitry is configured to receive, via the port, a sequence of packets from a peer network node, the sequence of packets including (i) a time-protocol packet and (ii) a transmit-side (TX) time-stamp indicative of a time at which the time-protocol packet was transmitted from the peer network node, to assess a receive-side (RX) traffic pattern over one or more of the received packets in the sequence that precede reception of the time-protocol packet, and to calculate an accuracy measure for the TX time-stamp, based on the assessed RX traffic pattern.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a processing apparatus includes processing circuitry to process an event, a timestamping unit to generate a timestamp for the event, at least one register to store at least one parameter describing a hardware state of the processing circuitry, and timestamp correction processing circuitry to compute a time value as a correction to the generated timestamp responsively to the at least one parameter.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an event processing system includes a clock configured to provide time values, and event processing circuitry, which is configured to generate a confidence level indicative of a degree of confidence of an accuracy of a timestamp, the timestamp being generated for an event responsively to a time value indicative of when an operation associated with the event occurred.
