An apparatus and method are provided for scheduling transmit network events in a multiprocessing environment. Each processing node handles its own linked list of transmit object queues and linked list of transport queues. Therefore efficient handling of the transmit network events is enabled. Queues may be added, made inactive, or removed depending on the status of a specific transmit event the queue handles. By maintaining queues in memory, the apparatus is easily scalable, in linear relationship with the size of the memory made available.

Apparatus and method for transmit transport protocol termination

An apparatus and method are provided for termination of received network events (i.e., a packet received from the network) in a multiprocessing environment. Each processing node may handle one or more receive object queues, which may be linked in a linked list fashion, as well as a linked list of application stream queues to enable efficient termination of the received network events. Queues may be added, made inactive, or removed, depending on the status of a specific receive event the queue handles. By maintaining queues in memory the apparatus is easily scalable, linearly with the size of the memory made available.

Apparatus and method for receive transport protocol termination

An apparatus comprising a transmit portion and a receive portion. The transmit portion may be configured to present (i) one or more data signals and (ii) a configuration signal, in response to one or more input signals. The receive portion may be configured to receive (i) all of the one or more data signals when operating in a first mode and (ii) less than all of the data signals when operating in a second mode. The first and second modes may be configured in response to the configuration signal.

Reducing power consumption and simultaneous switching in a bus interface

A method and apparatus for synchronization of an audio/visual bitstream is transmitted by an encoder and received by a decoder by employing duplication or elimination of audio samples and video pixels. The invention enables clock synchronization between the encoder and a decoder with an unregulated clock oscillator so as to control the data reader by skipping ahead (eliminating a data element) or to pause (duplicating a data element) depending on whether the encoder clock is faster or slower than the decoder clock.
