Abstract
This paper describes a new method for unicast PTP Synchronization Networks to distribute a large population of unicast slave clocks over a dynamically changing set of master clocks. The new approach maintains full compatibility with existing [1]IEEE 1588-2008 implementations and allows to integrate them without having to modify their hard- or software.
