摘要 |
The embodiments of the present invention refer to an interworking agent aimed at being installed in a network node comprising a Precision Time Protocol "PTP" module, said agent comprising: a synchronization-side interface configured to measure Precision Time Protocol "PTP" metrics for detecting a Precision Time Protocol "PTP" signal failure, read and modify Precision Time Protocol "PTP" parameters of the Precision Time Protocol "PTP" module, at least one network-side interface configured to measure network metrics for selecting the optimal path for packet synchronization signals monitor network events for detecting a network path change, read and modify signals exchanged with a network planning entity and, signals exchanged between network nodes at the network level in order to communicate with remote interworking agents located in other network nodes.
