CLOCK SOURCE SELECTION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521826 titled 'CLOCK SOURCE SELECTION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application where a first network device adjusts a parameter value related to synchronization source selection when it cannot trace the clock of a second network device.

  • The first network device modifies a parameter value when it cannot trace the clock of the second network device.
  • The modified parameter value is set to a value higher than the parameter value of the second network device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Network synchronization systems
  • Telecommunication networks
  • Data centers

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Improving network synchronization
  • Enhancing communication reliability
  • Optimizing network performance

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Better synchronization accuracy
  • Increased network efficiency
  • Enhanced data transmission reliability

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially used in:

  • Network equipment manufacturing
  • Telecommunication service providers
  • Data center infrastructure companies

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be:

  • Existing network synchronization protocols
  • Previous methods of clock synchronization in networks

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network latency?

This article does not address the specific impact of this technology on network latency. It would be interesting to know if the adjustments made by the first network device have any effect on latency.

What are the potential security implications of modifying synchronization parameters?

The article does not discuss the security aspects of changing synchronization parameters. It would be important to understand if these modifications could introduce vulnerabilities in the network.


Original Abstract Submitted

After a first network device traces a clock of a second network device, when the first network device cannot trace the clock of the second network device, the first network device modifies a parameter value corresponding to a synchronization source selection parameter of the first network device to a first parameter value, where the first parameter value is superior to a parameter value corresponding to a synchronization source selection parameter of the second network device.
