  • Patent number: 12470956
    Abstract: A first electronic device communicates over a wide area network by establishing a MACSec session with a second electronic device over the wide area network. The MACSec session is thereafter torn down in response to the first electronic device sensing a fault in the MACSec session. Then, one or more keep alive probes are transmitted to the second electronic device over the wide area network. A response to the keep alive probe is thereafter received. The MACSec session may then be automatically reestablished in response to receiving the probe.

  • Patent number: 12368568
    Abstract: A clock signal in a clock distribution network is transmitted using network packets with the clock signal embedded within a bit of the network packets. The clock signal is adjusted to account for propagation delay in transmitting the clock signal throughout a clock distribution network. The propagation delay is computed using a round-trip packet. When a previous clock signal is received, a timer is set to a local clock's estimate of when the next clock signal will occur minus the propagation delay to the downstream device. When this timer expires, the clock signal is sent to the downstream device, which will allow it to arrive at the downstream device at the same time as the next clock signal is received on the local device.
