METHOD FOR RECEIVING AND PROCESSING FRAMES AND A DEVICE HAVING FRAME RECEIVING AND PROCESSING CAPABILITIES

摘要

A device having frame receiving and processing capabilities and a method for receiving and processing frames. The method includes: receiving a frame; associating a frame timestamp with the frame; storing the frame and the associated timestamp at a certain buffer out of a group of buffers; generating a valid timing information frame indicator if the received frame is a valid timing information frame; and storing the valid timing information frame indicator at a certain buffer descriptor associated with the certain buffer.
