Abstract: Methods, media, and systems are provided for characterizing the synchronization behavior of a slave clock. A sequence of sync packets, usable to synchronize with a grandmaster clock, is transmitted from the grandmaster clock to a slave clock. The sequence of sync packets is modified by dropping one or more sync packets from the sequence, providing a pattern of dropped sync packets. A synchronization output of the slave clock is monitored and, based on the synchronization output, a determination is made as to whether the slave clock is synchronized while the sequence of sync packets is modified. A characterization of the synchronization behavior of the slave clock is stored with respect to the pattern of dropped sync packets. The process may be repeated for various patterns of dropped sync packets.

Abstract: In a communication system, a session control server receives a session request for User Equipment (UE) over a first network and exchanges signaling with the UE and a transfer control server to establish a media session. The transfer control server sends an association of the UE and the transfer control server to a translation server. The translation server associates the UE with the transfer control server. The translation server receives a transfer request for the UE from a second network and identifies the transfer control server associated with the UE. The translation server transfers the transfer request for delivery to the transfer control server. The transfer control server exchanges signaling with the second network responsive to the transfer request to transfer the media session for the UE from the first network to the second network.
