Abstract: A network device includes control logic coupled to a receiver. The control logic detects an synchronization packet received via the receiver from a second network device over a network that is precision time protocol unaware. The control logic determines that a portion of the synchronization packet is asserted, indicating that the synchronization packet has incurred congestion traversing the network. The control logic adjusts, based on an assertion of the portion, a weight applied to timestamps associated with sending and receiving the synchronization packet in performing clock synchronization with the second network device.

Abstract: A system includes a processing device to receive video content, metadata related to the video content, and a target bit rate for encoding the video content. The processing device further detects a content type of the video content based on the metadata and encodes hardware to perform frame encoding on the video content. The system further includes a controller coupled between the processing device and the encoding hardware. The controller is programmed with machine instructions to generate first QP values on a per-frame basis using a frame machine learning model with a first plurality of weights. The first plurality of weights depends at least in part on the content type and the target bit rate. The controller further provides the first QP values to the encoding hardware for rate control of the frame encoding.

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.

Abstract: Network devices and associated methods are provided for synchronization in an optically switched network. The network device includes one or more ports in communication with a plurality of devices via an optical switch. The one or more ports receive a master clock signal having a first frequency from a first device of the plurality of devices. The network device includes a local clock in communication with the one or more ports and operating at a second frequency. The network device includes a synchronization manager in communication with the one or more ports and the local clock and configured to be enabled and disabled. When the synchronization manager is enabled, it receives the master clock signal via the one or more ports and transmits an instruction to the local clock to operate at the first frequency.
