Abstract:
Systems and methods of compensating for the delay asymmetry of coherent optical modems in a packet optical network include measuring fill levels of one or more queues each including an elastic First-In-First-Out (FIFO) circuit used in a transport mapping scheme, wherein the transport mapping scheme is one or more of client mapping to Optical Transport Unit (OTU) and OTU mapping to Flexible OTN (FlexO); and performing adjustments in a clock based in part on the measured fill levels, wherein the adjustments are configured to reduce a Time Error (TE) in the packet network based on delay asymmetry between two nodes.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of compensating coherent optical modems delay asymmetry in a packet optical network, comprising:\n obtaining measured fill levels of one or more queues each comprising an elastic First-In-First-Out (FIFO) circuit used in a transport mapping scheme, wherein the transport mapping scheme is one or more of client mapping to Optical Transport Unit (OTU) and OTU mapping to Flexible OTN (FlexO); and performing adjustments in a clock based in part on the measured fill levels, wherein the adjustments are configured to reduce a Time Error (TE) in the packet network based on delay asymmetry between two nodes wherein the measured fill levels are the measured fill levels at a first node for a first measurement and at a second node for a second measurement, wherein the adjustments comprise the first node adjusting its clock based on difference between forward and reverse delays between the two nodes, determined based on the first measurement and the second measurement.
