Method and a system for creating multi-port network synchronization bridge

A system for creating multi-port network synchronization bridge between a plurality of ethernet ports and a processor via a programmable Gate Array (PGA), the system comprising:

• the PGA configured to:
• segregate a PTP message associated with each ethernet port among the plurality of ethernet ports into one of:
• a critical message comprising at least one of a Sync message and a Sync Follow-up message, and
• a non-critical message comprising at least one of an Announce message,
• a delay Request message and a delay Response message;
• process the critical message by:
• determining, based on segregation of the critical message, whether a difference between a Master clock and a system clock, exceeds a predefined threshold;
• and
• compensating, the difference between the Master clock and the system clock based on the determination within a predefined range of precision;
• and
• the processor is configured to:
• process the non-critical message based on a plurality of Transmit (Tx) pulses and a plurality of Receive (Rx) pulses generated by the PGA;
• wherein the processor and the PGA, are adapted to determine, based on the PTP message one ethernet port to be assigned as a Slave port and one or more ethernet ports to be assigned as one or more Master ports.
