Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method performed by a first network element, the method including: receiving first user inputs for mapping IEEE 1588 clock class into ITU-T G.781 quality levels; producing a first table that maps clock class to quality level; providing the first table to a second network element; receiving second user inputs for mapping ITU-T G.781 quality level into IEEE 1588 clock class; producing a second table that maps quality level to clock class; and providing the second table to the second network element.
Claims20
A method performed by a first network element, the method comprising:
- receiving first user inputs for mapping IEEE 1588 clock class into ITU-T G.781 quality levels;
- producing a first table that maps clock class to quality level;
- providing the first table to a second network element;
- receiving second user inputs for mapping ITU-T G.781 quality level into IEEE 1588 clock class;
- producing a second table that maps quality level to clock class;
- and
- providing the second table to the second network element.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for execution by first network element, the medium comprising:
- instructions for receiving first user inputs for mapping IEEE 1588 clock class into ITU-T G.781 quality levels;
- instructions for producing a first table that maps clock class to quality level;
- instructions for providing the first table to a second network element;
- instructions for receiving second user inputs for mapping ITU-T G.781 quality level into IEEE 1588 clock class;
- instructions for producing a second table that maps quality level to clock class;
- and
- instructions for providing the second table to the second network element.
