Abstract
A timing system for distributing a timing signal includes a master timing system that receives a network timing reference. The master timing system generates a master timing signal from the network timing reference. A distributed services node timing system receives the master timing signal and embeds a timing signal into a data transmission frame. A network interface island receives the data transmission frame and retrieves the embedded timing signal therefrom.
