Abstract: Transceiving and hosting units applying delays based on port positions. The transceiving unit is adapted for insertion into one port among a plurality of ports of the hosting unit. The transceiving unit receives IP packets and applies a delay to the IP packets. The delay is based on a position of the one port into which the transceiving unit is inserted among the plurality of ports of the hosting unit. The transceiving unit transmits the delayed IP packets to the hosting unit. Alternatively, the hosting unit comprising the plurality of ports (including ports adapted for receiving transceiving units) applies a delay to IP packets received via one port among the plurality of ports. The delay is based on a position of the one port among the plurality of ports. Furthermore, an orchestration method implemented by an orchestration server may be used for determining the delays based on the positions.
