Abstract

An apparatus is provided which comprises: a first network interface (NI) to receive data from a source; a second NI coupled to a target; and a circuitry to generate a sequence of source timestamps and a sequence of target timestamps, wherein the first NI is to receive the sequence of source timestamps, and associate a first source timestamp of the sequence of source timestamps with the data, and wherein the second NI is to receive: the data with the first source timestamp from the first NI and the sequence of target timestamps from the circuitry, the second NI to generate a timestamp for the data, based at least in part on the first source timestamp and a first target timestamp of the sequence of target timestamps.
