1. A method of transmitting data traffic from a first network node and receiving data traffic at a second network node comprising the steps of:
identifying a plurality of data packets as being members of a data session at the first network node; adding a timestamp to the header or data payload of each packet within the data session wherein the timestamp is an additional timestamp derived from a local clock of the first network node; transmitting the packets to a destination; identifying the plurality of data packets as being members of the data session at the second network node; extracting the additional timestamp from the header or data payload of each packet within the data session; placing the packet in a jitter buffer for re-synchronising according to the additional timestamp; and routing the packet to the destination.
