Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588 in

This book will specifically focus on the Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588 PTP-based technologies, both key developments in the world of synchronization over the last decade. This book aims to address the needs of engineers and technical managers who are struggling with the subject of synchronization and provide an engineering reference (or at least an informative starting point) for those that need to consider synchronization in NGN. The book discusses the market applications that are driving the development of packet network synchronization and timing architectures, and emphasizes the role of Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588. The book provides valuable information to a wide audience that have a need-to-know when researching, implementing, buying and deploying packet synchronization architectures in telecom networks.
