  • Automatically ensuring symmetrical latency in teleprotection systems
    Patent number: 11502968
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a first router receives a latency measurement indicative of latency associated with traffic sent from the first router to a second router. The first router calculates an asymmetrical latency as a difference between the latency measurement and a latency associated with traffic sent from the second router to the first router. The first router determines, based on the asymmetrical latency, a symmetrical latency target. The first router sends, to the second router, an indication of the symmetrical latency target. The first router and the second router adjust their respective de-jitter buffers to achieve the symmetrical latency target between the first router and the second router.
