Abstract
The embodiments of the present invention pertain to a method for distributing time between a first and a second Synchronous Ethernet 'SyncE' domain, the first and second domains being interconnected by a third, Synchronous Optical Networking/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy 'SDH-SONET' domain in which a time-associated reference parameter is distributed, through Synchronous Ethernet “SyncE” domains, by means of at least one additional Type Length Value “TLV” field of an Ethernet Synchronization Messaging Channel “ESMC” message and a corresponding time-associated reference parameter is distributed, through the Synchronous Optical Networking/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy “SONET-SDH” domain by means of at least one additional Type Length Value “TLV” field within a message of the IEEE 1588 V2 protocol.
