Abstract
A method for transporting Ethernet frame packets assembled from a constant bit rate (CBR) client stream from an ingress network node to an egress network node, each Ethernet frame packet including a payload region having a number of bytes of CBR client data from the CBR client stream determined by a client rate value of the CBR client stream. The method including synchronizing a reference clock signal and a ToD in the ingress network node to a packet-based time distribution mechanism, independently synchronizing a reference clock signal and a ToD in the egress network node to the packet-based time distribution mechanism, for an Ethernet frame packet assembling a presentation time packet including a sequence number and a presentation ToD for the Ethernet frame packet, and transmitting the Ethernet frame packets and the presentation time packet to the egress network node over the packet transport network.
