Abstract
A system for network data transactions, the system including an ingress port to receive data frames and timestamp received data frames, a frame analyzer to forward the data frames to a processor, the processor to extract timing information from the data frames and update the data frames based on updated timing calculations and output updated data frames via one or more egress ports. Data frames are timestamped at ingress and egress ports, and egress timestamps are saved in a timestamp memory. The system reduces overall network delays by using dedicated hardware and stored timestamp information.
