Claim:
1. A device for transmitting data in a network, the device comprising: a source subsystem configured to generate a first data packet that includes first timing information that is based on a time at which the first data packet is generated, wherein the source subsystem comprises a first timing generator configured to generate the first timing information; and a communication subsystem coupled to the source subsystem via one or more abstraction layers, the communication subsystem configured to modify the first data packet to generate and transmit a modified data packet to the network, wherein the communication subsystem is configured to generate the modified data packet to include the first timing information and second timing information that is based on a time at which the modified data packed is transmitted to the network, and wherein the communication subsystem comprises a second timing generator that is linked to the first timing generator through the one or more abstraction layers to generate the second timing information.
