Abstract
Examples described herein relate to multiple processor nodes which are physically separate with interfaces to a common network interface. A local processor can run a timing recovery algorithm, and tune the master timer to align with the network domain to cause the master timer and network timing domains to be in the same domain. A common master timer can be used to align time stamps of independent processor nodes. A processor node can use the common master timer as a reference and the processor does not need to communicate with another processor to synchronize its timer.
