摘要:
Technologies for timestamping data packets with forward error correction is disclosed. Alignment markers may be inserted in a data stream in order to assist with synchronization on the receiving end. After insertion of the alignment markers, a start of frame delimiter or other trigger may be detected, triggering a timestamp corresponding to the start of frame delimiter or other trigger. The data and the timestamp are sent to a remote compute device, which may timestamp the data before removing the alignment markers. With this approach, insertion of the alignment markers does not lead to a deviation in the timestamp of the sending compute device or the receiving compute device.

In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, and logic, at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to determine a plurality of error counters, each of the plurality of error counters associated with a number of errors, determine the number of errors for each data unit of a plurality of data units associated with a data block, increment each of the plurality of error counters corresponding with the number of errors for each data unit of the plurality of data units, provide a plurality of error counts for the data block to a link partner, the plurality of error counts corresponding to the number of errors accumulated in each of the plurality of error counters for the data block, and reset the plurality of error counters. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Technologies for robust data transmission include a network port logic having a physical coding sublayer (PCS). The PCS may transmit a series of rapid alignment markers (RAMs) to a link partner, with each RAM indicative of a counter value. The PCS transitions to a sleep state if the counter value equals two and a low power idle (LPI) command is set by an upper-layer client. The PCS transitions to an active state if the counter value equals one and the LPI command is not set. The PCS may receive a low power idle symbol (LI) from the link partner and start a guard timer in response to receipt of the LI symbol. The PCS transitions to a sleep state if the guard timer expires and transitions to the active state if data other than LI is received prior to expiration of the guard timer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a de-serializer to receive serial data at a first rate and to output a parallel data frame corresponding to the serial data aligned to a frame alignment boundary in response to a phase control signal received from a feedback loop coupled between the de-serializer and a receiver logic coupled to an output of the de-serializer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
