1. A distributed routing system for use in a communication network, wherein said distributed routing system includes at least one cluster comprising a plurality of cluster elements, wherein said distributed routing system is characterized in that only cluster elements used for forwarding communication traffic from among the plurality of cluster elements are synchronized there-between to a single clock so that a correct and consistent time stamping is applied to all sync packets in the cluster elements used for forwarding communication traffic, and then said plurality of cluster elements are synchronized to an external communication element.
