Abstract
A method, device and system for synchronization message transmission are provided. The method may include that: a transmitting end selects at least one Ethernet Physical Layer Link (PHY) for synchronization message transmission from a Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group (S201); after encapsulating the synchronization message according to a preset encapsulation strategy, the transmitting end inserts the synchronization message into a synchronization message channel in overhead of the selected Ethernet PHY (S202); and the transmitting end transmits the synchronization message through the selected Ethernet PHY (S203).
Claims26
A method for synchronization message transmission, comprising:
- selecting from a Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group, by a transmitting end, at least one Ethernet Physical Layer Link (PHY) for synchronization message transmission (S201);
- after encapsulating the synchronization message according to a preset encapsulation strategy, inserting, by the transmitting end, the synchronization message into a synchronization message channel in overhead of the selected Ethernet PHY (S202);
- and
- transmitting, by the transmitting end, the synchronization message through the selected Ethernet PHY (S203).
The method according to claim 23, wherein partitioning, by the transmitting end, part of or all of the reserved bytes of the FlexE overhead into at least one of the synchronization message channel and the synchronization indication comprises:
- partitioning, by the transmitting end, part of or all of the reserved bytes of the FlexE overhead into the synchronization indication with a size of first preset byte length and the synchronization message channel with a size of second preset byte length.
