ITU-T G.8271.2/Y.1366.2 (08/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communicat

12、ion technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The Wor

13、ld Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In

14、 some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recog

15、nized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The w

16、ords “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility tha

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendat

As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

ITU-T G.8271.2/Y.1366.2 (08/2017) 1 Recommendation ITU-T G.8271.2/Y.1366.2 Network limits for time synchronization in packet networks with partial timing support from the network 1 Scope Thi

24、s Recommendation specifies the maximum network limits of phase and time error that shall not be exceeded. It specifies the minimum equipment tolerance to phase and time error that shall be provided at the boundary of these packet networks at phase and time synchronization interfaces. It also outline

25、s the minimum requirements for the synchronization function of network elements. This Recommendation addresses the distribution of time and phase across a network, using the packet-based method with partial timing support to the protocol level from the network. In particular, it applies to the assis

26、ted partial timing support (APTS) and partial timing support (PTS) architectures described in ITU-T G.8275 and the precision time protocol (PTP) profile defined in ITU-T G.8275.2. This Recommendation addresses the following cases. 1) Assisted partial timing support (APTS). In the APTS configuration,

27、 PTP is used as a backup timing source to a local time reference (e.g., primary reference time clock (PRTC) based on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for durations up to 72 h. It is not intended to use PTP as the primary timing source. Network requirements take into consideration the dy

28、namic time error (dTE) generated by the network. 2) Partial timing support from the network (PTS). In the PTS configuration, PTP is used as the primary source of time to the end application. In this mode, a local time reference (e.g., GNSS) is not available. Network requirements take into considerat

29、ion the combination of both the constant time error (cTE) and dTE components generated by the network. A network that is based on the architecture defined in ITU-T G.8265, and is designed to meet the network limits for frequency defined in ITU-T G.8261.1, is not designed for the delivery of accurate

30、 time or phase, which requires much lower levels of packet delay variation (PDV) and asymmetry. The network limits specified in this document are for small, well-controlled networks (e.g., in-building or last-mile network segments), which can guarantee that the stringent PDV and asymmetry network li

31、mits are met. Further guidance can be found in Appendix II. The necessary clock specifications are for further study. The packet networks that are in the scope of this Recommendation are currently limited to the following types: Ethernet: IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1Q Multiprotocol label switching (MPL

32、S): IETF RFC 3031 and ITU-T G.8110 Internet protocol (IP): IETF RFC 791 and IETF RFC 2460 The use of other network types are for further study. The physical layer that is relevant to this specification is the Ethernet media types as defined in IEEE 802.3. 2 Rec. ITU-T G.8271.2/Y.1366.2 (08/2017) 2 R
