Abstract
A method or an arrangement for the clock synchronization of a plurality of distributed modules of an information or communication system where said modules are coupled via a packet-switched network is adapted so that at least two of said modules are controlled by a local clock generator of the modules using an adjustable frequency, and a clock signal is transmitted via the network in the form of clock signal packets. One of said at least two modules takes over the function of a master module, and all remaining modules synchronize the local clock of the modules with the clock of the master module.
