USER-SELECTABLE IEEE 1588 CLOCK CLASS AND QUALITY LEVEL MAPPING

摘要

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method performed by a first network element, the method including: receiving first user inputs for mapping IEEE 1588 clock class into ITU-T G.781 quality levels; producing a first table that maps clock class to quality level; providing the first table to a second network element; receiving second user inputs for mapping ITU-T G.781 quality level into IEEE 1588 clock class; producing a second table that maps quality level to clock class; and providing the second table to the second network element.
