Techniques for synchronizing data object instances between applications/processes in an efficient manner. In one set of embodiments, the techniques described herein can be implemented in one or more network routers to synchronize data between a process running on an active management processor and a process running on a standby management processor, thereby facilitating features such as non-stop routing (NSR).

A high accuracy clock synchronization mechanism between a sender and a receiver in a communication network achieves time synchronization using broadcast beacons, directly at the PHY/MAC layer of the sender and the receiver, to minimize synchronization delay jitter. This provides a more efficient synchronization method than either NTP or SNTP, because multiple handshaking information exchange is avoided. Further, using beacons avoids the overhead of introducing additional synchronization packets in higher layer synchronization.

A method and system for synchronized video playing across multiple user terminals are disclosed. The method includes sending a continued video playing request to a server from a first user terminal to play a video from a break point, receiving video information from the server, the video information being submitted from a second user terminal, and playing the video from the break point based on the received video information. The method and system consistent with the present disclosure may improve a user's video watching experience by enabling a user to seamless switch between different user terminals.

A method for facilitating synchronization of a remote file system (RFS) and a local file system (LFS) includes maintaining a global revision identifier associated with the RFS, where the global revision identifier has a variable state, and responsive to the RFS being modified, updating metadata associated with one or more of the file system objects of the RFS based on a state of the global revision identifier. More particularly, the method includes updating the global revision identifier to a new state in response to the RFS modification and then updating the metadata of the folder(s) associated with the RFS modification. The RFS metadata is partitioned by folder and file to facilitate efficient searching based on a requested namespace view. Another method utilizes prior revision identifiers stored in the LFS to limit the RFS metadata returned to the local cloud during a rescan, by excluding the data set that has not changed, which improves the efficiency of the rescan synchronization.

Probabilistic arbitration is combined with distance-based weights to achieve equality of service in interconnection networks, such as those used with chip multiprocessors. This arbitration desirably used incorporates nonlinear weights that are assigned to requests. The nonlinear weights incorporate different arbitration weight metrics, namely fixed weight, constantly increasing weight, and variably increasing weight. Probabilistic arbitration for an on-chip router avoids the need for additional buffers or virtual channels, creating a simple, low-cost mechanism for achieving equality of service. The nonlinearly weighted probabilistic arbitration includes additional benefits such as providing quality-of-service features and fairness in terms of both throughput and latency that approaches the global fairness achieved with age-base arbitration. This provides a more stable network by achieving high sustained throughput beyond saturation. Each router or switch in the network may include an arbiter to apply the weighted probabilistic arbitration.
