Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588 in Telecoms: Next Generation Synchronization Networks (Hardcover)

This book addresses the multiple technical aspects of the distribution of synchronization in new generation telecommunication networks, focusing in particular on synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588 technologies.
Many packet network engineers struggle with understanding the challenges that precise synchronization distribution can impose on networks. The usual “why”, “when” and particularly “how” can cause problems for many engineers. In parallel to this, some other markets have identical synchronization requirements, but with their own design requirements, generating further questions. This book attempts to respond to the different questions by providing background technical information.
Invaluable information on state-of-the-art packet network synchronization and timing architectures is provided, as well as an unbiased view on the synchronization technologies that have been internationally standardized over recent years, with the aim of providing the average reader (who is not skilled in the art) with a better understanding of this topic.
The book focuses specifically on synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588 PTP-based technologies, both key developments in the world of synchronization over the last 10 years.

The authors address the needs of engineers and technical managers who are struggling with the subject of synchronization and provide an engineering reference for those that need to consider synchronization in NGN. The market applications that are driving the development of packet network synchronization and timing architectures are also discussed.
This book provides a wide audience with everything they need to know when researching, implementing, buying and deploying packet synchronization architectures in telecommunication networks.

本書探討了新一代電信網絡中同步分配的多個技術方面，特別關注同步乙太網和IEEE1588技術。許多封包網絡工程師在理解精確同步分配對網絡帶來的挑戰時感到困惑。通常的「為什麼」、「何時」和特別是「如何」可能對許多工程師造成問題。與此同時，其他一些市場也有相同的同步要求，但具有自己的設計要求，進一步引發問題。本書試圖通過提供背景技術信息來回答不同的問題。

本書提供了關於最先進的封包網絡同步和定時架構的寶貴信息，以及對近年來國際標準化的同步技術的公正觀點，旨在讓普通讀者（不熟悉這一領域的人）更好地理解這個主題。

本書特別關注同步乙太網和IEEE 1588 PTP技術，這兩個技術是同步領域在過去10年中的重要發展。

作者們解決了工程師和技術經理在同步問題上遇到的需求，並為那些需要考慮下一代網絡同步的人提供了一個工程參考。本書還討論了推動封包網絡同步和定時架構發展的市場應用。

本書為廣大讀者提供了在研究、實施、購買和部署電信網絡中的封包同步架構時所需的一切。目錄如下：

1. 網絡演進、應用及其同步要求。
2. 同步技術。
3. 封包網絡中的同步網絡架構。
4. 同步設計和部署。
5. 同步網絡的管理和監控。
6. 影響同步的安全方面。
7. 封包同步網絡的測試和測量方面。
