ABSTRACT:
Techniques for using protocol-enabled switches to provide time synchronization across store-and forward communication devices. A protocol-enabled switch according to the present techniques bypasses a store-and forward communication device for the purposes of time synchronization by merging timing packets into each subnet serviced by the store-and forward communication device, thereby avoiding the variable delays that may occur in the store-and forward communication device.
