Abstract
A processor of a network device receives i) a timing message and ii) a control header corresponding to the timing message. The control header includes information that indicates a timestamping method for communicating timing information corresponding to transmission of the timing message by the network device. The timestamping method is selected from a set of multiple timestamping methods that includes: i) a one-step timestamping method, and ii) a two-step timestamping method. The processor determines whether the two-step timing timestamping method is to be performed based on analyzing the information in the control header. The network device transmits the timing message within a first packet and determines timing information corresponding to the transmission of the first packet. In response to determining that the timestamping method is the two-step method, the processor stores the timing information in a memory for subsequent inclusion in a second packet that is to be subsequently transmitted.
