  This article describes the steps involved in order to achieve a higher precision over Ethernet-based LANs without degrading fault tolerance and determinism aspects. We explain how the statistical time synchronization in IEEE 1588 could be extended by a deterministic algorithm to support those features in an orthogonal fashion.

• Enhancements to the time synchronization standard IEEE-1588 for a system of cascaded bridges. Jasperneite, J.; Shehab, K.; Weber, K.  2004 IEEE International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems. Proceedings  p. 239-44, IEEE ,  2004, ISBN: 0 7803 8734                 At the field level of industrial automation systems, the line topology is very important. By using Ethernet at the field level, the resulting chain of bridges leads to a cascade of control loops and may lead to instabilities and deviations of the distributed clocks, which are not acceptable. For this application a bypass clock instead of the boundary clock is proposed as an enhancement of the IEEE-1588 standard. The effectiveness of this extension to be evaluated by simulation technique.
