Abstract
Techniques for communicating packets in a computer network are provided. At a network device, a first stream of packets is obtained from a packet processing node. A second stream of packets is obtained from a packet generating node. A counter is maintained that counts a number of the packets received from the second stream. An internal clock signal of the network device is obtained. A control signal is generated for pacing the first stream of packets based on the counter and the internal clock signal. The first stream of packets is provided to a packet consuming node based on the control signal.
