Abstract
A network device determines whether a one-step timestamping method or a two-step timestamping method is to be used for transmission of a first packet. A first processor of the network device transfers to a second processor of the network device, i) a timing message to be included in the first packet, and ii) information that indicates the determined timestamping method. In response to the information from the first processor indicating that the one-step timestamping method is to be used, the second processor transmits the first packet with timing information embedded in the first packet. In response to the information from the first processor indicating that the two-step timestamping method is to be used, the second processor stores the timing information in a memory of the network device for subsequent inclusion in a second packet that is to be transmitted after transmitting the first packet, and transmits the first packet.
