METHOD FOR PROCESSING DISTRIBUTED DATA HAVING A CHOSEN TYPE FOR SYNCHRONIZING COMMUNICATION NODES OF A DATA PACKET NETWORK, AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE

摘要

A method is intended for processing distributed data of a chosen type in a data packet network comprising communication nodes (N1-N5). This method comprises the steps of: —receiving a plurality of packets, comprising data of the chosen type and sent at regular time intervals by a source communication node (N1), —assessing a packet delay variation of each of these received packets, —selecting a subset of these received packets according to their respective assessed packet delay variations, and —synchronizing a destination communication node (N5) of the data packet network by means of timing information derived from the selected subset.
