DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING OF DATA FRAMES BY MULITIPLE ADAPTERS USING TIME STAMPING AND A CENTRAL CONTROLLER

摘要

An apparatus and a method where a plurality of physically separate data receiving/analyzing elements receive data packets and time stamp these. A controlling unit determines a storing address for each data packet based on at least the time stamp, where the controlling unit does not perform the determination of the address until a predetermined time delay has elapsed after the time of receipt.
