摘要:
The invention is directed to a method and system for providing synchronization clock performance simulation in a timing-over-packet network having a network management system. The system retrieves information from nodes in a network and determines a timing-over-packet topology in a simulated model of the network, and determines clock stability statistics. The system further accepts simulation inputs such as addition or deletion of nodes in the simulated network, or introduction of failures into in the simulated network. The system provides predicted clock stability performance of an existing network under various simulated conditions without requiring modifications or introduction of failures to the existing network which would be useful for network optimization and network planning.

摘要:
A technique for oscillator stability and accuracy verification involves analysis of parameters from a plurality of phase locked loops (PLLs). During testing, each PLL receives a stable reference clock to identify variations in its clock oscillator. Mathematical calculations on the data extracted from each PLL permit identification of clock oscillators having undesirable timing characteristics. Remedial measures may then be implemented to correct problems with any faulty oscillators.

The invention is directed to providing a method and system for monitoring and managing from a network management entity, timing-over-packet synchronization performance in a packet switching network having multiple network nodes. The network management entity determines a physical topology and a synchronization topology of the network and monitors synchronization performance by collecting virtual path information.
