ABSTRACT:
A clock synchronization scheme for use with an access network element having scalable architecture. A point-to-point, high-speed communication link provided between two adjacent banks of the access network element logically interconnects a plurality of banks in a linear stack, thereby creating a stackplane hierarchy for local traffic. A primary bank includes a central master timing and frame alignment control block operable based on a master reference clock. A secondary bank immediately coupled to the primary bank is operable to synchronize its local clock based on a delay preset signal provided by the primary bank. Each remaining secondary bank is operable to synchronize its local clock based on the delay preset signal provided by a local master timing control block disposed in the secondary bank immediately above it.
