ABSTRACT:
A network connection device bridges a first network that uses a negotiated packet delivery scheduling scheme and a second network that uses an empirically determined packet delivery scheduling scheme. The network connection device translates a request to communicate over the first network into a request to communicate over the second network, thus bridging the two networks. The negotiated packet delivery scheduling scheme permits endpoints to negotiate scheduled delivery times for packets, while the empirically determined packet delivery scheme tests various time interval locations in a network to determine favorable time locations for transmission. The two protocols are bridged by finding compatible overlaps between time interval locations in the two networks. This can provide error-free delivery with low jitter among packets.
