Abstract
A node is deployed along a path between a master device and a slave device. In some cases, the path includes additional nodes. The node includes a plurality of queues configured to be associated with a corresponding plurality of flows. A first queue of the plurality of queues is configured to be associated with a first flow that conveys timing messages for synchronizing the master device and the slave device. A scheduler is configured to schedule messages from the first queue during an extended time window that encompasses expected arrival times of a first set of timing messages in the first flow. The node reverts to normal behavior in response to completing processing of the first set of timing messages. During normal operation, the node schedules messages from the first queue during a default time window that is shorter than the extended time window.
