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.
This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
