Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: receiving first synchronization information associated with a first encapsulated output from a first encapsulator, wherein the first synchronization information includes at least one timestamp value of the first encapsulated output and wherein the first synchronization information further includes one or more a timestamp wrap count value representative of a number of times the timestamp value has wrapped around to an initial timestamp value within a timestamp range, a timestamp delta value representative of an amount of time that a timestamp has lumped backward in time, and a timestamp jump count value representative of a number of times of a discontinuous jump forward in time of a timestamp; receiving second synchronization information associated with a second encapsulated output from a second encapsulator; determining whether the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output are in synchronization within an acceptable threshold based, at least in part, on the first synchronization information and the second synchronization information; and responsive to the first encapsulated output and the second encapsulated output being determined to be out of synchronization:
