Abstract

A Sync message to start off a 1-step synchronization sequence includes a timestamp (T') that represents a time when the Sync message entered the packet processing pipeline of a network device to be processed for egress to a slave device. The packet processing pipeline stores a timestamp (T) in the Sync message as part of processing the Sync message. The timestamp Trepresents the amount of time spent in the packet processing pipeline. The slave device that receive Sync message computes Tby summing the timestamps T′ and Tstored in the received Sync. message, where Trepresents the time when the Sync message left the network device.
