Residence Time Measurement in MPLS Networks
Abstract
This document specifies a new Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) for
Residence Time Measurement (RTM) and describes how it can be used by
time synchronization protocols within an MPLS domain.
Residence time is the variable part of the propagation delay of
timing and synchronization messages; knowing this delay for each
message allows for a more accurate determination of the delay to be
taken into account when applying the value included in a Precision
Time Protocol event message.
