APPARATUS AND METHOD OF SYNCHRONIZING DISTRIBUTION OF PACKETSERVICES ACROSS A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK

摘要

An apparatus and method are described for synchronizing distribution of p acket information. In one embodiment, the invention includes timestamp proce ssing logic to process a transmit time indicator embedded within the packet information, where the transmit time indicator is based on a time reference, and service synchronization queuing logic to hold the packet information un til a time offset after the transmit time indicator, where the service synch ronization queuing logic is synchronized to the time reference.
