Abstract
A network device includes control logic coupled to a receiver. The control logic detects an synchronization packet received via the receiver from a second network device over a network that is precision time protocol unaware. The control logic determines that a portion of the synchronization packet is asserted, indicating that the synchronization packet has incurred congestion traversing the network. The control logic adjusts, based on an assertion of the portion, a weight applied to timestamps associated with sending and receiving the synchronization packet in performing clock synchronization with the second network device.
