Time transfer using an asynchronous computer network: Results from three weeks of measurements
Paper in proceeding, 2007

We have performed a time transfer experiment between two atomic clocks, over a distance of approximately 75 km using an 10 Gbit/s asynchronous fiber-optic computer network. The time transfer was accomplished through passive listening on existing data traffic and a pilot sequence in the SDH bit stream. In order to assess the fiber-link clock comparison, we simultaneously compared the clocks using a GPS carrier phase link. The standard deviation of the difference between the two time transfer links over the three-week time period was 243 ps.
