Abstract
The modern telecommunication networks are forming on the basis of different transmission and data processing technologies. High load on the transport layer nodes demands quality synchronization of equipment that works on it. The transport network is an important element which delivers the time scale to slave nodes. Using the time-division multiplexing for the high-speed channel processing with the use of wavelength division multiplexing (OTN, Optical Transport Network) and classic Ethernet networks as a transport layer systems needs the precision time synchronization which can be achieved with the use of Precision Time Protocol (PTP). The modeling apparatus of PTP messages exchanging within OTN multiplexers and IP-network based on the routers are suggested. The packet transferring through the network are given as sequence of simple processing steps. The impact of a network load on PTP information processing capacity on the routers and efficiency of the Forward Error Correction algorithm for OTN equipment are analyzed. The experimental distribution of variable delays on that network elements are given.
