A system and method for synchronizing clocks across a packet-switched network eliminates wander accumulation to enable precision clock distribution across a large network. In addition to standard Precision Time Protocol (PTP) synchronization messages or similar time synchronization messages, each clock regenerator stage receives a grand clock error message from the previous stage, updates this error message with its own stage clock error, and then transmits the updated grand clock error to the next stage. This enables the synchronization algorithm to compensate for the error of the previous stage, effectively locking each clock regenerator stage to the grand master clock directly. |
