Abstract

A reference timing architecture is disclosed that provides a level of flexibility that was not available with the architecture in the prior art. In particular, the present invention provides for multiple reference timing outputs that can be routed to equipment nodes relying on the timing information, wherein each of the timing processing paths that provide timing outputs can be controlled independently of one another.
