Abstract
A node determines a frequency offset between a physical layer clock and a local oscillator clock, wherein the node uses the physical layer clock as a clock source for a local time counter. The node tunes, based on the frequency offset, a frequency of the local oscillator clock. The node then identifies an issue that is associated with the physical layer clock and thereby causes the local oscillator clock to be the clock source for the local time counter. The node identifies, after causing the local oscillator clock to be the clock source for the local time counter, that the issue that is associated is resolved or that a time interval has elapsed, and thereby causes the physical layer clock, or another physical layer clock, to be the clock source for the local time counter.
