Abstract

There is provided a method of optimizing timing packet transport in a network node, the method comprising using a locally available stable frequency reference at the network node to provide a pre-determined network node transit time for timing packets in at least one direction into or out of the network node. There is also provided a network node comprising a locally available stable frequency reference and circuitry adapted to apply a pre-determined network node transit time, L, to all timing packets transiting the network node in at least one direction into or out of a network node dependent on the locally available stable frequency reference.
