5. After sending the Pdelay_Resp message, the master clock sends a Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up
message carrying time t5 immediately.
From the above process, the member clock collects six timestamps, t1 to t6, and obtains the
round-trip delay to the master clock by using the following calculation:
•
[(t4 – t3) + (t6 – t5)]
The member clock also obtains the one-way delay by using the following calculation:
•
[(t4 – t3) + (t6 – t5)] / 2
The offset between the member and master clocks is as follows:
•
(t2 – t1) – [(t4 – t3) + (t6 – t5)] / 2
Depending on whether to send Follow_Up messages, the Peer Delay mechanism includes two
modes: single-step and two-step.
•
In single-step mode, t1 is carried in the Sync message, and no Follow_Up message is sent. The
offset between t5 and t4 is carried in the Pdelay_Resp message, and no
Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up message is sent.
•
In two-step mode, t1 is carried in the Follow_Up message, and t4 and t5 are carried in the
Pdelay_Resp and Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up messages.
