Abstract
In an exemplary aspect, method, apparatus, and program products are disclosed suitable for clock offset determination. One method includes performing a number of exchanges of at least single bytes with another network node, where values of the single bytes are different for the exchanges. The method also includes capturing and storing timestamps for each of the number of exchanges performed on the network node. A second method includes capturing and saving arrival timestamps for each of a number of timing messages in a set of timing messages received from another network node. This second method also includes sending the timestamps to at least the another node in response to completion of the set of timing messages.
