Abstract:
1. A networking device configured to reduce delay jitter of a plurality of packets passing through the networking device, the networking device comprising: an input interface configured to receive the plurality of packets, wherein the plurality of packets includes a first packet; a packet memory configured to store the first packet; a timestamp module configured to generate a first timestamp corresponding to a time at which the input interface received the first packet; an egress module configured to store a first output time corresponding to the first packet, wherein the first output time is equal to a sum of the first timestamp and a fixed time interval, and wherein the fixed time interval is equal to a difference between (i) a first amount of time required by the networking device to receive a maximum-sized packet and (ii) a second amount of time required by the networking device to receive a minimum-sized packet; and an output interface configured to transmit the first packet to a destination networking device in response to a current timestamp from the timestamp module being greater than or equal to the first output time.
