Summary:
|
Recommendation ITU-T G.8264/Y.1364 outlines aspects of distribution of timing information through packet networks and initially focuses on Ethernet networks. A number of methods may be used to transfer frequency which may be physical-layer based or protocol-layer based. This Recommendation provides information on architectural aspects of timing flows in Ethernet networks which will form the basis for future work related to time and phase transfer.
This Recommendation specifies the synchronization status message (SSM) protocol and formats for use with synchronous Ethernet. Adherence to the SSM formats specified in this Recommendation is required in order to ensure interoperability between synchronous Ethernet equipment involved in frequency transfer.
