Abstract:
An apparatus for enabling a passive optical network (PON) having an OLT and at least one ONU on supporting time synchronization is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a timestamp correction module configured to make at least one network delay between the OLT and the at least one ONU of the PON equivalent to an equivalent path delay, wherein the timestamp correction module, through the PON, makes the at least one ONU responsible for modifying the timestamp in at least one PTP packet from the OLT, so that a slave clock at the backend of the at least one ONU is equivalent to synchronizing with a virtual master clock. The disclosure computes and corrects PTP commands so that the PTP clock at an ONU's backend may synchronize precisely with the master clock at an OLT's front end.

Abstract:
A network controlling method and a network controller are provided. The network controlling method includes the following steps. A hybrid SDN-Ethernet system including a plurality of hosts, a plurality of Ethernet switches and m Software-defined networking switches (SDN switches) is provided. m is larger than or equal to 1. A first path according to at least one default spanning tree in the hybrid SDN-Ethernet system is obtained. m×k optional paths are obtained. Each of the m SDN switches is set as a beginning of each of k of the m×k optional paths. A second path is selected according to the m×k optional paths and the first path of the at least one default spanning tree.
