METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION AND DATATION FOR EQUIPMENT OF AN AFDX COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The invention particularly relates to the synchronization of a local clock of an equipment in a communication network as a function of synchronization frames transmitted by a reference equipment and transmitted via a switch. After receiving (700) a synchronization frame transmitted by the reference equipment and including its transmission date, the switch transmits (730) said synchronization frame received after a delay, at least on average, fixed from the receiving said synchronization frame by said switch (725). The local clock of the equipment is synchronized after reception of said synchronization frame by the equipment according to said transmission date, the date of reception of said synchronization frame and said delay.
