Claim 15:
16. A method for detecting timestamp discontinuities, comprising:
acquiring a first sequence of packets with a packet order starting with a starting packet of the first sequence of packets and ending with an ending packet of the first sequence of packets;
identifying a first reference timestamp corresponding with a first reference packet of the first sequence of packets closest to the starting packet;
acquiring a second sequence of packets with a packet order starting with a second starting packet of the second sequence of packets and ending with a second ending packet of the second sequence of packets;
identifying a second reference timestamp corresponding with a second reference packet of the second sequence of packets closest to the second starting packet;
determining a timestamp time difference between the first reference timestamp and the second reference timestamp;
identifying a data rate at which the first sequence of packets was encoded;
determining a maximum chunk time difference by dividing a data size of the first sequence of packets by the data rate at which the first sequence of packets was encoded;
detecting that the timestamp time difference is greater than the maximum chunk time difference;
detecting that a timestamp discontinuity exists within the first sequence of packets in response to detecting that the timestamp time difference is greater than the maximum chunk time difference;
identifying a location of the timestamp discontinuity within the first sequence of packets; and
transmitting the location of the timestamp discontinuity.
