ABSTRACT:
A network data stream synchronization method and system are disclosed. Operating delay and loss parameters are accepted and a data stream buffer is initialized. The network delay experienced by a data packet is determined and a buffer delay is imposed to provide a fixed end-to-end delay. Packets arriving too late to be played within the fixed end-to-end delay are discarded. Network delay models may be updated and clock drifts may be detected and compensated for using historical buffer data.
