Local Area Network Distributed Realtime Clock Synchronization

摘要

This report applies the strobe realtime clock synchronization technique to serialbusses and local area networks in general, and to the IEEE 802.5 and the Fiber Distributed Data Interface token ring local area network standards in particular. Section 2 examines miscellaneous material relating to adjustable-rate realtime clocks. Section 3 presents adjustable rate realtime clock hardware implementation methods considered superior to those in an earlier report. Section 4 presents a hardware implementation of an IEEE 802.5 strobe detector.
