The DOCSIS Timing Protocol (DTI) defined in this document supports the accurate and robust transport of the DTI server 10.24 MHz master clock, 32-bit DOCSIS timestamp, and Time of Day, to the DTI client within the DOCSIS M-CMTS cable network. The DTI protocol is structured to minimize the complexity and cost of the DTI client clocks, and the per port cost of the shared server function while supporting all S-CDMA and TDMA timing requirements.
