[EN] The embodiments of the present invention refer to an interworking agent aimed at being installed in a network node comprising a Precision Time Protocol "PTP" module, said agent comprising:
- a synchronization-side interface configured to
- measure Precision Time Protocol "PTP" metrics for detecting a Precision Time Protocol "PTP" signal failure,
- read and modify Precision Time Protocol "PTP" parameters of the Precision Time Protocol "PTP" module,
- at least one network-side interface configured to
- measure network metrics for selecting the optimal path for packet synchronization signals
- monitor network events for detecting a network path change,
- read and modify
- signals exchanged with a network planning entity and,
- signals exchanged between network nodes at the network level in order to communicate with remote interworking agents located in other network nodes. |
