Abstract
A first timing error of a network device is determined based at least in part on a first received network message from a timing synchronization source. At a first instance, it is determined whether the first timing error exceeds a threshold. In response to a determination at the first instance that the first timing error exceeds the threshold, a clock of the network device is corrected based at least in part on the first received network message. A second timing error of the network device is determined based at least in part on a second received network message from the timing synchronization source. At a second instance, it is determined whether the second timing error exceeds the threshold. In response to a determination at the second instance that the second timing error does not exceed the threshold, the clock of the network device is allowed to function without correction.
