Abstract
Techniques to operate a time division multiplexing (TDM) media access control (MAC) module include examples of facilitating use of shared resources allocated to ports of a network interface based on a time slot mechanism. The shared resources allocated to process packet data received or sent through the ports of the network interface.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry to:
- obtain time division multiplexing (TDM) allocation information, the TDM allocation information to indicate a time period for a repeating sequence of time slots for use of shared resources to process packet data received or sent through ports of a network interface;
- cause a detection of separate patterns associated with receiving or sending data through respective ports of the network interface;
- verify that the separate patterns repeat to validate the separate patterns;
- and
- cause, for a first port from among the ports, a first validated pattern to be loaded to a TDM storage resource included in the shared resources, the first validated pattern to facilitate processing packet data received or sent through the first port during a first time slot from among the repeating sequence of time slots, the first time slot allocated to the first port for use of the shared resources.

A method comprising:
- obtaining time division multiplexing (TDM) allocation information that indicates a time period for a repeating sequence of time slots for use of shared resources to process packet data received or sent through ports of a network interface;
- detecting separate patterns associated with receiving or sending data through respective ports of the network interface;
- verifying that the separate patterns repeat to validate the separate patterns;
- and
- loading, for a first port from among the ports, a first validated pattern to a TDM storage resource included in the shared resources, the first validated pattern to facilitate processing packet data received or sent through the first port during a first time slot from among the repeating sequence of time slots, the first time slot allocated to the first port for use of the shared resources.

At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by a system, cause the system to:
- obtain time division multiplexing (TDM) allocation information that indicates a time period for a repeating sequence of time slots for use of shared resources to process packet data received or sent through ports of a network interface;
- detect separate patterns associated with receiving or sending data through respective ports of the network interface;
- verify that the separate patterns repeat to validate the separate patterns;
- and
- load, for a first port from among the ports, a first validated pattern to a TDM storage resource included in the shared resources, the first validated pattern to facilitate processing packet data received or sent through the first port during a first time slot from among the repeating sequence of time slots, the first time slot allocated to the first port for use of the shared resources.
