OBJECTIVES
The course provides specific knowledge on the impact caused by transporting the Sync-E and IEEE1588v2 over Packet Transport Network. It describes synchronization aspects in transport and backhaul optical network in order to plan the most efficient synchronization strategy. The course covers topics such as the principles of Planning and Design for the Sync distribution on the transport network.
