Clock synchronisation over a packet network using SRTS without a common network clock

摘要

A method for recovering a service clock through a packet network for the provision of isochronous services uses a two-layer arrangement wherein stable oscillators are provided at the transmitting and receiving nodes. ACR is used to tune the local oscillators over a long period of time. SRTS is used to transfer the service clock except the timestamp information is based on the local oscillators at the transmitting and receiving nodes instead of the common network clock.
