<p>An exemplary technique is provided for synchronizing master and slave clocks of a packet-switched network. The network contains at least two equipments that are connected to one another via an aggregated connection made up of at least two links and that are located between the master and slave clocks to enable them to transmit synchronization packets to one another using a timestamp protocol. The technique includes (a) obtaining a distribution of the synchronization packets in at least one subset of the links that transport these synchronization packets, and (b) transmitting to the slave clock first information representative of that distribution, second information representative of timestamps associated with the synchronization packets, and third information representative of packet transmission times over the at least one subset of links, to synchronize the slave clock to the master clock as a function of at least the first, second, and third information transmitted.</p> |
