    摘要: Systems, apparatus, and methods for packetized clocks may include a packet interface to carry the rate of a client to a sigma-delta modulator that generates a clock at the required rate inside the chip itself there by removing the need for off-chip analog PLLs. The packetized clock may include a packet interface that receives a flow credit packet that includes a plurality of flow credit counts, one flow credit count for each data flow, and forwards a flow credit count for each data flow to one of a plurality of clock generators to generate a new clock signal for each data flow.

    摘要: Systems, methods, devices, and other implementations for minimizing latency asymmetries and variations in a bi-directional link between two nodes in a communication system are described. To determine a variable latency for communication between two network nodes, a transmitting node can insert a line marker and a client marker into the data to be transmitted to the receiving node. The line marker and client marker can be inserted into the data at different portions or by different components of a transmitter. The receiving node can receive the transmitted data and extract the line marker and client marker. A delay associated with the line and client markers (Tc-TL) in the transmission device and a delay between the reception of the line and clien markers (Rc-RL) at the receiving node can be used to determine the variable latency.
