Abstract
In a method for monitoring the residence time across nodes of a communication network including a transparent clock-based synchronization architecture, the method includes configuring and generating a tunable and traceable packet dedicated to delay measurements. The method further includes measuring the packet resident time across a network node by a transparent clock, storing, at the level of the network node, the measured residence time, and retrieving the stored residence time by a Network protocol.
