Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a method for monitoring the residence time across nodes of a communication network including a transparent clock-based synchronization architecture, the method includes configuring and generating a tunable and traceable packet dedicated to delay measurements. The method further includes measuring the packet resident time across a network node by a transparent clock, storing, at the level of the network node, the measured residence time, and retrieving the stored residence time by a Network protocol.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for monitoring a residence time across a plurality of nodes of a communication network including a transparent clock based synchronization architecture according to Precision Time Protocol release 2 (PTPV2), said method comprising: configuring and generating a modified PTPV2 packet, the modified PTPV2 packet being used for at least measuring the residence time but is not used for a synchronization purpose; measuring the residence time of the…
