Correcting time synchronization inaccuracy caused by internal asymmetric delays in a device

摘要

A method for time synchronization that avoids time synchronization inaccuracies caused by asymmetric delays internal to a device. Time synchronization according to the present teachings includes determining an asymmetry between an internal delay of an inbound timing packet in a device and an internal delay of an outbound timing packet in the device and correcting a time synchronization in response to the asymmetry.
