Summary:
|
The document notes that existing Y.3800-series texts and related references provide valuable foundations for time synchronization, but do not explicitly describe a server-initiated distribution model for QKDNs. This Supplement is therefore proposed as a complementary approach, offering baseline requirements, architectural options, and security considerations for further evaluation. The intention is to build on established mechanisms, provide initial performance rationale, and enable future study and potential standardization of server-initiated time synchronization (periodic/event-driven) in QKDN environments.
