Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for managing jitter resulting from processing through a network interface pipeline are disclosed. In embodiments, a network traffic scheduler annotates packets to be transmitted over a bandwidth-limited network connection with time relationship information to ensure downstream bandwidth limitations are not violated. Following processing through a network interface pipeline, a jitter shaper inspects the annotated time relationship information and pipeline-imposed delays and, by imposing a variable delay, reestablishes bandwidth-complaint time relationships based upon the annotated time relationship information and configured tolerances.
