Disclosed are a method and a device for detecting a 1588 timing error between network elements. The method comprises: establishing a 1588 timing network for the entire network; when performing 1588 timing error detection between network elements is required, each network element sends a probing packet carrying a local timestamp to a peer network element; a network element that receives the probing packet calculates, according to a preset time difference algorithm, the time difference between the local timestamp and the timestamp in the probing packet, and determines, according to the time difference, whether a detection path failure has occurred; if such a path failure is detected, an alarm is reported. The present invention prevents erroneous time transmission due to timing errors, thus ensuring network stability. |
