The present technology improves synchronization of a slave node with a master node in a network using PTP packets in which the slave node is coupled to the working master node through at least one boundary node. The technology establishes a synchronization communication session between the boundary node and the slave node in which the synchronization communication session is configured to measure a first timing delay from the boundary node to the slave node, and establishes a transparent communication session between the master node and the slave node through the boundary timing node in which the transparent communication session configured to measure a second timing delay from the master node to the slave node. Using the sessions, the technology adjusts a timing delay correction factor according to the first timing delay and the second timing delay, and synchronizes the slave node with the master node according to the correction factor.
