    摘要: In some embodiments, a first computing device detects a loss of a connection to a first source of timing information that the first computing device and a second computing device use to maintain synchronization with a first clock and a second clock. The first computing device receives a second source of timing information from the second computing device. The second source of timing information is also being transmitted to a third computing device. The first computing device uses the second source of timing information to determine a first timestamp and determines a second timestamp from the first clock. The first computing device uses the first timestamp and the second timestamp to adjust a rate of the first clock where the first clock is used to transmit the second source of timing information from the second computing device to the third computing device.

    摘要: Nodes, amplifiers, and taps for an improved hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network and methods for managing signals in an improved HFC network are shown and disclosed. The method may include receiving, at a node, a downstream optical signal in a higher-frequency band and a lower-frequency band separated from the higher-frequency band. The method may additionally include amplifying, at the node, the lower-frequency band by a magnitude different than that of the higher-frequency band. The method may further include combining, at the node, the higher-frequency band and the lower-frequency band into an output signal after the lower-frequency band has been amplified.
