Abstract: Server time protocol (STP) messages and methods of exchange thereof are provided for facilitating synchronization of processing units of a timing network. The STP messages include exchange time parameters (XTP) commands and responses, and STP control (STC) commands and responses. XTP message exchange processing includes: generating an XTP message command at a first processing unit including a command transmit timestamp field set bythe first processing unit and a command receive timestamp field which is unset by the first processing unit; transmitting the XTP message command to a second processing unit; setting the command receive timestamp field in the XTP command with the time the XTP command is received at the second processing unit; and generating an XTP message response at the second processing unit, the message response including the command transmit timestamp set by the first processing unit and the command receive timestamp set by the second processing unit.

Abstract: Recoveryis provided in a timing network. A configuration is defined for that network, and in that configuration, an active primary server is identified that provides a clock source for the network. Additionally, an alternate server is identified that can perform the role of the active primary server, should the active primary server fail. In response to a failure of the primaryserver, the alternate server detects the failure and performs takeover of the primary server.

Abstract: In a networked data processing system, the updating of timing parameters is carried out via a process in which the detection of the loss of communications with the network is not immediately employed as an indication of parameter invalidity but rather the process employs a system specific delay which permits actions such as server or link recovery to occur without necessitating the declaration of timing parameter invalidity.

Abstract: Se describen mensajes de protocolo de tiempo de servidor STP y métodos de intercambio de los mismos para facilitar la sincronización de unidades de procesamiento de una red de temporización. Los mensajes de STP incluyen comandos de parámetros de tiempo de intercambio (XTP) y respuestas y comandos de control STP (STC) y respuestas. El procesamiento e intercambio de mensajes de XTP incluyen: generar un comando de mensaje de XTP en una primera unidad de procesamiento que incluye un campo de estampa de tiempo de transmisión de comandos ajustado por la primera unidad de procesamiento y un campo de estampa de tiempo de recepción de comandos que está sin ajustar por la primera unidad de procesamiento; transmitir el comando de mensaje de XTP a una segunda unidad de procesamiento, establecer el campo de estampa de tiempo de recepción de comandos en el comando de XTP con el tiempo en que el comando de XTP es recibido en la segunda unidad de procesamiento y generar una respuesta de mensaje de XTP en la segunda unidad de procesamiento, la respuesta de mensaje incluye la estampa de tiempo de transmisión de comandos establecida por la primera unidad de procesamiento y la estampa de tiempo de recepción de comandos establecida por la segunda unidad de procesamiento.
