Clock synchronization is a mechanism for providing a standard
reference time to various devices across a distributed network. It
is critical in modern computer networks because every aspect of
managing, securing, planning, and debugging a network involves
determining when particular events happen. Global Positioning
Systems (GPS) are a popular mechanism for achieving
synchronization, but these are not always practical in network
systems. This monograph concentrates on a technique called Network
Time Distribution which is often more cost-effective than GPS-based
timing, as it does not require any dedicated hardware and can often
make use of the existing network resources for synchronizing
devices across the network. The technique uses a master/slave
construction to synchronize the time throughout devices on a
network. To do this, two-way message exchange is required which can
be subject to network delays. The authors present recent
developments to combat the degrading effects of stochastic delays
for clock synchronization protocols based on two-way message
exchange. While the techniques presented in the monograph apply to
many applications and any clock synchronization protocol based on
two-way message exchanges, the authors mainly discuss the
applications in the context of IEEE 1588 PTP standard applied to
telecommunication networks. Recent Advances in Clock
Synchronization for Packet-Switched Networks is of interest to
telecommunication engineers designing and building a broad range of
telecommunication systems. It provides an introduction to the
theory as well as practical results for implementation in
real-world systems.
