SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DISCOVER CANDIDATE PTP CLOCK SOURCE(S) OVER IP/MPLS NETWORK

Abstract: aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that includes a processing system including a processor; a clock; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of: advertising a capability as a precision timing protocol (ptp) master clock through an internet protocol (ip) network, wherein the advertising includes an ip address of the device; receiving a unicast signaling mechanism from a ptp client node in the network; and sending clock messages to the ptp client node responsive to accepting the ptp client node. other embodiments are disclosed.
