Abstract
A method for generating an accurate adaptive clock is disclosed. The method includes accessing data at a first clock rate, generating an adaptive clock that has an adaptive clock rate that is based on the arrival rate of said data, accessing data related to the first clock rate and the adaptive clock rate. The adaptive clock rate is adjusted based on a determined relationship between the first clock rate and the, adaptive clock rate.
Claims20
A method for generating an accurate adaptive clock, comprising:
- accessing data at a first clock rate;
- generating an adaptive clock that has an adaptive clock rate that is based on the arrival rate of said data;
- accessing data related to said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate;
- and
- adjusting said adaptive clock rate based on a determined relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate.
A system for generating an accurate adaptive clock, comprising:
- an accessor for accessing data at a first clock rate;
- an adaptive clock generator for generating an adaptive clock that has an adaptive clock rate that is based on the arrival rate of said data;
- an accessor for accessing data related to said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate;
- and
- an adaptive clock adjuster for adjusting said adaptive clock rate based on a determined relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate.
A system for generating an accurate adaptive clock, comprising:
- means for accessing data at a first clock rate;
- means for generating an adaptive clock that has an adaptive clock rate that is based on the arrival rate of said data;
- means for accessing data related to said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate;
- and
- means for adjusting said adaptive clock rate based on a determined relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate.
A method for generating an accurate adaptive clock, comprising:
- accessing packets transmitted at a first clock rate;
- accessing packets received at an adaptive clock rate;
- determining a relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate;
- and
- providing access to data related to said relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate.
A system for generating an accurate adaptive clock for a network that comprises network source side and network destination side components, comprising:
- an accessor for accessing data that is transmitted at a first clock rate;
- an accessor for accessing data that is received at said first clock rate;
- an adaptive clock generator for generating an adaptive clock that comprises an adaptive clock rate that is based on an arrival rate of said data that is received at said first clock rate;
- an accessor for accessing data that is received at said adaptive clock rate;
- a determiner for determining a relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate;
- an access provider for providing access to data related to said relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate;
- an accessor for accessing said data related to said relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate;
- and
- an adaptive clock adjuster for adjusting said adaptive clock rate based on a determined relationship between said first clock rate and said adaptive clock rate.
