Abstract
This document specifies a new Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) forResidence Time Measurement (RTM) and describes how it can be used bytime synchronization protocols within an MPLS domain.
Residence time is the variable part of the propagation delay oftiming and synchronization messages; knowing this delay for eachmessage allows for a more accurate determination of the delay to betaken into account when applying the value included in a PrecisionTime Protocol event message.
