Abstract
This invention relates to methods and systems for estimating skew based on, for example, the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). These methods and systems can allow the clock skew between a master clock (server) and slave clock (client) exchanging PTP messages over a packet network to be estimated. In one embodiment, the slave employs a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) driven by timestamps supplied from a master clock. The slave is able to process the timestamp information embedded in PTP Sync and Follow_Up messages in order to lock its frequency to that of the master clock. In certain embodiments a frequency locked DPLL and a local free-running counter are used to estimate the skew of the local slave oscillator.
