Abstract
Methods of synchronizing sequence numbers of a number of devices of a network are disclosed. A method may include incrementing, at each of a first device and a second device of a network, a sequence number, wherein the sequence number is indicative of a number of frames generated at the associated device since the timing event. The method may also include inserting, at each of the first device and the second device, the sequence number into an associated frame. Related networks and devices are also disclosed.
