Synchronous Ethernet Transport over E-Link 1000EXR

The E-Link 1000 radio family is capable of transporting Synchronous Ethernet using the currently implemented methods covered in IETF 1588 and ITU-G.8261, and other methods using Adaptive Clock Recovery. Each of these methods maintain clock synchronization that either uses characteristics of the GigE line coding scheme (8B/10B) or an exchange of timing information (consisting of packets) between network elements. The E-Link solution sends the raw Gigabit Ethernet data bits over the air without inspecting any of the bits or packets. We do not affect the timing these bits represent. E-Link keeps the entire payload in its native format and transparently sends those bits across to the other end of the link. Any timing, jitter, or wander is detected by the network elements, using the above methods, and changes are automatically compensated for. E-Band Communications Corp. has tested E-Link radios with a large PWE vendor that supports all three of these protocols, and all were passed/approved. The clock recovery results presented below are compared to the G.823 Sync mask taken from section 6.2.3 of G.823. This mask is actually meant to be used with E1 signals but it provides a point-of-reference for this document.

The following pages show the graphs from the Agilent Test set use to test the clocking. As you can see, in all three cases, our device performs better than required.
