Abstract
Embodiments provide techniques for delivering a paced stream of video data packets. One embodiment includes receiving a data stream of video data packets formatted according to a Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) standard. A desired rate of delivery for the video data packets at a gateway device is determined. Embodiments generate a padded data stream by inserting one or more pause frames in between the video data packets in the received data stream, based on the desired rate of delivery. The padded data stream is transmitted across a link to a network switch, to be transmitted to the gateway device.
