Abstract
An apparatus configured to determine sets of untraceable clock domains in the communication network may comprise a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to one another. The processor may be configured to select a clock as a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) clock, calculate a time drift associated with another clock, and average the time drift over multiple successive PTP timestamps. Further, the processor may be configured to generate a report indicating whether the clock is offset with respect to a PTP clock based on whether an average of the time drift over the successive PTP timestamps is higher than the predefined threshold.
