    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: A communication system is described, among other things. An illustrative system is disclosed to include one or more decoding circuits to perform forward error correction for a received data block in a physical layer and one or more cyclic redundancy check circuits to perform a cyclic redundancy check based on a first output of the decoding circuits and a cyclic redundancy check code generated in the physical layer based on the received data block. In response to one or more of a second output of the decoding circuits and an output of the cyclic redundancy check circuits, a retransmission request of the data block is initiated.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a retimer device includes a receiver to receive data from a first device via a data link, retimer circuitry to recover a clock phase from the received data, and prepare a new copy of the received data sampled by a clean clock based on the recovered clock phase, a transmitter to transmit the new copy to a second device via the data link, wherein the receiver is configured to receive an in-band standby signal from the first device having a given pattern in a physical layer of the signal, activate a power saving mode of the retimer device responsively to the standby signal having the given pattern in the physical layer of the standby signal, receive an in-band wakeup signal from the first device, and initiate an exit from the power saving mode to power up the retimer device responsively to the wakeup signal.

    Abstract: A system including an interconnect device coupled with one or more devices where the first device of the one or more devices is to transmit a control block for synchronization via a physical layer of a link coupled to the high-speed interconnect device, the control block comprising a header portion of bits corresponding to a header indicating the block is a control block and a data portion of bits indicating the control block is associated with time synchronization information. The interconnect device is to receive data, parse the data, determine the data is associated with the control block, determine a delay associated with the physical layer transmitting the control block and transmitting a signal responsive to receiving the control block and determining the delay.
