Abstract: Methods and systems for calibrating clock skew in a SerDes receiver. A method includes detecting a skew in a clock with respect to an edge of a reference clock, based on a value sampled by the clock and a value sampled by the reference clock at an edge of a data pattern, for a first Phase Interpolator (PI) code; determining a count of the skew from a de-serialized data word including outcome values obtained based on values sampled by the clock and values sampled by the reference clock at a predefined number of edges of the data pattern; obtaining a skew calibration code corresponding to the first PI code, from a binary variable obtained by accumulating an encoded variable to a previously generated binary variable; and calibrating the skew by performing a positive phase shift or a negative phase shift to the clock based on the skew calibration code.

Abstract: A segment identifier (SID) manager interfaces with clients by way of a library. Clients implementing network services and needing SIDs according to internet SRv6, are allocated blocks by the SID manager using the library. Clients assign SIDs from the block independent of the SID manager using the library. Where a threshold portion of the block is assigned, the library requests an additional block of SIDs from the SID manager. Clients transmit context mappings of assigned SIDs to the SID manager for use by administrators and to enable recovery in the event of failure.
