Abstract
A network element one or more network ports, network time circuitry and packet processing circuitry. The network ports are configured to communicate with a communication network. The network time circuitry is configured to track a network time defined in the communication network. In some embodiments the packet processing circuitry is configured to receive a definition of one or more timeslots that are synchronized to the network time, and to send outbound packets to the communication network depending on the timeslots. In some embodiments the packet processing circuitry is configured to process inbound packets, which are received from the communication network, depending on the timeslots.
