B-26SYNCHRONIZATION OF DIGITAL FACILITIES

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_

RULE 7:

The number of nodes receiving synchronization reference from any given node should be minimized.

EXAMPLE FOR RULE 7

Figure B-19,Excessive Synchronization from One Node, shows an excess of synchronization from one node. If transmission facility linking nodes A-B fails, then nodes B, D, E, and F will lose their synchronization. However, if this same facility fails in figure B-20,Minimized Synchronization from One Node, only nodes B, D, and E will lose synchronization. Node F remains synchronized to the network.

With few exceptions, it is not possible to engineer a synchronization network that will satisfy all seven rules. In general, rules 1 through 3 apply in all cases. For rules 4 through 7, use those rules that apply to your specific network and try to minimize outages based on the cases presented in the examples for each of these rules.
