SECURE MECHANISM FOR TRANSMITTING COUNTER VALUE IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSMISSION OF A SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL IN A PACKET NETWORK

摘要

The invention concerns a device for receiving packets in a packet communication network comprising at least two stations, characterized in that it includes: a phase-locked loop; as well as means for: receiving packets containing samples of said network, said samples being derived from data sampled every Tech period, where Tech is derived from a time base synchronized on all the stations of said network and said samples being associated with incremental values predicting at least one sample; calculating, in case of interruption of packet reception, a prediction of a sample which should have been received, by adding an incremental value to a received sample value. The invention also concerns a device for transmitting packets in a packet communication network.
