Abstract

A method for handling at least one encapsulated synchronization message by a tunnel node including a transparent clock, includes generating a signature from the encapsulated synchronization message and generating, or updating if it has already been generated, a tunnel follow-up message. The tunnel follow-up message includes the encapsulated synchronization message signature. The method further includes measuring the encapsulated synchronization message residence time across the tunnel node, and updating the correction field of the tunnel follow-up message with the measured residence time.
