Abstract
The invention relates to a method of using computer equipment to send a time-stamped frame. The method implements:generating at a given instant TS a frame whose time stamp TO is equal to TS+&dgr;, where &dgr; is a time interval required by the computer equipment between generating a time-stamped frame and sending the last bit thereof;sending said time-stamped frame as generated at the instant TS when an absolute time clock of the computer equipment reaches a value equal to TS+&dgr;−&sgr; where &sgr; is the duration required for sending the bits of said frame, such that the last bit of the frame is sent at instant TS+&dgr;.
