Abstract :
As the transport of data across the network relies increasingly on Ethernet/IP methods and less on the TDM infrastructure, the need for packet methods of synchronization transport arises. Evaluation of these new packet methods of frequency and time transport requires new approaches to timing measurement and analysis. This article describes these new packet measurement techniques and introduces some of the new metrics being used for packet timing data analysis.
