The third plurality of properties may include a subset of one or more of the first and second pluralities of properties. The new object may be linked to the first and second data objects.

Abstract: A method, at an egress node, includes synchronizing with a global reference time; receiving a signal including a presentation time for when a specific part of the signal is to be transmitted, wherein the presentation time was determined by the ingress node with reference to the global reference time; determining an actual transmission time when the specific part of the signal is transmitted; and causing adjustment of a clock based on a time error derived from a difference between the presentation time and the actual transmission time.

Abstract: A subsea communication network and a method of communicating is disclosed. The subsea communication network is arranged in a topology having an A side and a B side. The network includes a plurality of subsea control modules (SCMs) each comprising a respective first side subsea electronics module (SEM) connected to a further side SEM via an internal communication link, a first side surface modem unit (SMU) and a further side SMU and a first side surface power supply module (PSM) and a further side surface PSM each connected to each SCM. At least two of the SEMs sharing a common side allocation in each of the first and further sides of the network are connected together via a point-to-point communication link.

Abstract: A distributed Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Transparent Clock (TC) provides a TC function based on overall residence time in a network at a server layer. That is, the server layer operates as a distributed TC for a corresponding client layer. A transport network includes a first node connected to a first client device; and a second node connected to a second client device over a server layer, wherein the first client device communicates to the second client device via a client layer, wherein the first node and the second node are synchronized to one another, and wherein the first node and the second node are configured to implement a distributed transparent clock on a PTP packet at the client layer, the distributed transparent clock includes a correction field in the PTP packet based on a residence time in the transport network at the server layer.
