Abstract: A device, which is part of a decentralized media playout system, is located at a destination location. The device includes a processor, memory, a network interface, and a jitter buffer implemented in the memory. The jitter buffer buffers programming content and control messages, which are received from a source location of the decentralized media playout system, before transmitting them to a mixer.

The processor restores the first relative timing relationship between the programming content and the control messages, as it existed at the source location, by instructing the jitter buffer to delay transmitting either the programming content or the control messages to the mixer.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide a method for efficiently propagating address resolution reply messages. A first router in a first network receives an address resolution request message from a second router in a second network. The first router generates an entry for the address resolution request message and stores the entry in a pending address resolution requests table. When the first router receives a route advertisement, it extracts a network layer address from the route advertisement and determines whether the pending address resolution requests table includes an entry for the network layer address. If so, the router extracts a link layer address from the route advertisement and generates an address resolution reply message comprising the network layer address and the link layer address. The router then transmits the address resolution reply message to the second router.
