Abstract:
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network timing functionality. In some embodiments, a grand master clock(s) might receive a first timing signal from a global positioning system (“GPS”) source via a GPS antenna(s), and might send a second timing signal (which might be based at least in part on the first timing signal) to a slave clock(s), in some cases, via one or more network elements or the like. A computing system might calculate various transmission times for the second timing signal to be transmitted between the grand master clock(s) and the slave clock(s), and might calculate any time delay differences in the transmission times, might generate a third timing signal based at least in part on the calculated time delay differences (if any), and might send the third timing signal to one or more network elements, thereby providing Accurate Synchronization as a Service (“ASaaS”) functionality.

Claim (Index 18):
The system of  claim 18 , wherein the first network path comprises a first sequence of a first plurality of network elements through which the second timing signal is sent, the second network path comprises a second sequence of the same first plurality of network elements through which the second timing signal is sent, and the second sequence is the opposite of the first sequence; and wherein the third network path comprises a third sequence of a second plurality of network elements through which the fifth timing signal is sent, the fourth network path comprises a fourth sequence of the same second plurality of network elements through which the fifth timing signal is sent, and the fourth sequence is the opposite of the third sequence.
