Channel Bonding Synchronization

摘要

Different data communication architectures deliver a wide variety of content, including audio and video content, to consumers. The architectures employ channel bonding to deliver more bandwidth than any single communication channel can carry. In some implementations, the communication architectures distribute data streams to bonded channels that are clocked independently. A system is provided for synchronizing the bonded channels.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
an input interface; output interfaces to communication channels; and at least one buffer; a processor in communication with the input interface and the output interfaces, the processor being configured to:
obtain source data from the input interface;distribute the source data through the at least one buffer across the communication channels in a bonded channel group; andmonitor and adjust synchronization of the communication channels based on a fullness of the at least one buffer.
