  • SYNCHRONIZING TIME OVER LAG LINKS USING CALIBRATED DELAYS
    Publication number: 20260222096
    Abstract: In certain embodiments involving a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) time transmitter connected to a PTP time receiver over a link aggregation group (LAG), the receiver uses a table of delay values to compensate for differences in average transmission delay over the different LAG links when synchronizing its local clock with the transmitter's reference clock. When a LAG link is added or changed, the transmitter and receiver perform a link-delay-calibration operation to calculate the delay to be used for subsequent synchronization operations.

  • SYNCHRONIZING TIME OVER LAG LINKS BY SUSPENDING LAG PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20260222097
    Abstract: In certain embodiments involving a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) time transmitter connected to a PTP time receiver over a link aggregation group (LAG), the receiver suspends normal LAG processing during PTP clock-sync operations to ensure that a PTP Delay-Request message is transmitted to the transmitter over the same LAG link used by the transmitter to transmit the corresponding PTP Sync message to the receiver in order to avoid errors resulting from different LAG links having different average transmission delays.
