Method for synchronizing a master clock and the slave clock in the packet-switched network using a connection that has been aggregated across nodes, and associated synchronization device

摘要

In order to be able to transmit a synchronization packet with each other using the time stamp protocol to connect to each other via a connection that has been aggregated is composed of L1-L3 at least two links, the method, the master clock It is possible only to synchronize the slave clock HE and master clock HM the aforementioned packet switched network including E1, E2 at least two devices which are disposed between the slave clock HE and HM. Includes the following steps: the method: obtaining the distribution of synchronization packets in at least a subset of links that transmit the synchronization packets are (a), first the first, and second, it is transmitted (b) at least In order to synchronize the slave clock HE on the master clock HM according to the information of three, the slave clock HE, second information representing a first information representing the distribution, the timestamp associated with the synchronization packets, step of transmitting the third information representing the packet transmission time through the links L1-L3.
