1. A method, comprising:
- a first device sending a stream of packets in a sequence across a network to a second device, the packets comprising a plurality of data packets and one or more synchronization packets interspersed in the plurality of data packets; and
the second device dropping any of the received data packets in the sequence arriving more than a first delta of time threshold value after the arrival of a most recent synchronization packet of the one or more synchronization packets.

Abstract
A method and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes a first device sending a stream of packets in a sequence across a network to a second device. In the sequence of packets there are a number of data packets and one or more synchronization packets. The synchronization packets are interspersed throughout the data packets. The method also includes the second device being capable of dropping any of the received data packets in the sequence arriving more than a first delta of time threshold value after the arrival of the most recent synchronization packet.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a network; a first device, coupled to the network, to send a stream of packets in a sequence, across the network, to a second device coupled to the network, the packets comprising a plurality of data packets and one or more synchronization packets interspersed in the plurality of data packets; and the second device to drop any of the received data packets in the sequence arriving more than a first delta of time threshold value after the arrival of a most recent synchronization packet of the one or more synchronization packets. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
