Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling delay over a data path in a device for transporting Ethernet packets over an optical transport network. The device is configured to receive an incoming clock signal having a first frequency and an incoming data signal and to output an outgoing clock signal having a second frequency and an outgoing data signal. One or more delays over the data path in the device are measured in a predetermined measurement period. A phase adjustment amount is determined based on the one or more measured delays over the data path in the predetermined measurement period, and based on the determining phase adjustment amount, a phase of the outgoing clock signal is adjusted by a phase locked loop in such a way that the delay over the data path in the device is substantially equal to a fixed delay value.

Claim (Index 39):
The apparatus according to  claim 35 , wherein the device is configured to receive an incoming data signal and output an outgoing data signal, the incoming data signal comprising an Ethernet client signal or an optical transport network signal.
