38、mendation, the term PTP refers to the PTP version 2 protocol defined in IEEE 1588. 6 General introduction to packet-based time/phase distribution The distribution of accurate time and phase is necessary to support certain telecom-based services and in particular the underlying infrastructure. While

39、traditional network synchronization has relied on the accurate distribution of frequency, evolving wireless networks require the distribution of accurate time and phase. As the network evolves from a primarily TDM-based network infrastructure to one using packet-based technology, the ability to dist

40、ribute synchronization is also changing. In order to enable timing distribution in packet-based networks, the ITU-T developed specifications (ITU-T G.8261, ITU-T G.8262 and ITU-T G.8264) for synchronous Ethernet, which allowed the use of the Ethernet physical layer to be used as a mechanism to distr

41、ibute frequency analogous to the methods used with synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)-based network synchronization. In this regard, synchronous Ethernet, by appropriate specification of network equipment clocks provided support for the existing frequency-based synchronization network over both exi

42、sting TDM and new packet-based technology. In the absence of the ability to utilize the physical layer, the ITU also developed Recommendations covering frequency distribution using packet-based methods such as PTP and network time protocol (NTP). The use of packet-based methods also enabled new freq

43、uency synchronization scenarios to be considered. These, as well as other aspects specific to packet-based frequency distribution, resulted in the development of an architectural specification ITU-T G.8265. This Recommendation describes the architecture for packet-based time and phase distribution.

44、6.1 Requirements for packet-based time and phase distribution Packet-based mechanisms for time and phase distribution must meet the following five requirements: 1) mechanisms must be specified to allow interoperability between the various phase/time clocks defined in this architecture; 2) mechanisms

45、 must permit consistent operation over managed wide area telecom networks; 3) packet-based mechanisms must allow the synchronization network to be designed and configured in a fixed arrangement; 4) protection schemes used by packet-based systems must be based on standard telecom operational practice

46、 and allow telecom time slave clocks (T-TSC) the ability to take phase and time from multiple geographically separate telecom grandmaster (T-GM) clocks; 5) phase/time reference source selection based on received phase/time traceability and local priority should be permitted. Automatic establishment

47、of the phase/time synchronization network topology may also be possible. 7 Architecture of packet-based time/phase distribution In contrast to physical layer synchronization, where the significant edges of a data signal define the timing content of the signal, packet-based methods rely on the transm

48、ission of dedicated “event packets“. These “event packets“ form the significant instants of a packet timing signal. The timing of these significant instants is precisely measured relative to a master time source, and this timing information is encoded in the form of a time stamp, which is a machine-

49、readable representation of a specific instance of time. The time stamp is generated via a packet master function and is carried over a packet network to a packet slave clock. 4 Rec. ITU-T G.8275/Y.1369 (08/2017) A protocol is used between the master and the slave clocks in order to adjust for transmission and other delays, resulting in both the master and slave clocks having the same time reference. As time is the integral of frequency, the time stamps can also be used to derive frequency. This c
