Screenshot of PTPd 2.3.1, an implementation of PTP for Unix-like systems. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a widely adopted protocol for delivery of precise time over a computer network. A complete PTP system includes PTP functionality in network equipment and hosts. PTP may be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of both.
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol for clock synchronization throughout a computer network with relatively high precision and therefore potentially high accuracy. In a local area network (LAN), accuracy can be sub-microsecond – making it suitable for measurement and control systems. [ 1 ]
IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3 is a profile (subset) of IEEE Std 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) when clocks are singly attached. IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3 provides seamless fault tolerance by attaching clocks to duplicated networks paths and by support of simultaneously active redundant master clocks. For this case, the extensions to PTP defined in IEC 62439 ...
Clock synchronization is a topic in computer science and engineering that aims to coordinate otherwise independent clocks.Even when initially set accurately, real clocks will differ after some amount of time due to clock drift, caused by clocks counting time at slightly different rates.
PTPd is a complete, BSD licensed, open source code implementation of the IEEE 1588-2008 PTP specification. Currently only Unix-like computers can run the software, but this essentially means that FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Minix 3 and QNX computers can participate in PTP networks.
White Rabbit uses the Precision Time Protocol to achieve sub-nanosecond accuracy. A two-way exchange of the Precision Time Protocol synchronization messages allows precise adjustment of clock phase and offset. The link delay is known precisely via accurate hardware timestamps and the calculation of delay asymmetry.
The PTP Industrial Profile (PIP) is a standard of the IEC 62439-3 [1] that specifies in its Annex C two Precision Time Protocol IEEE 1588 / IEC 61588 profiles, L3E2E and L2P2P, to synchronize network clocks with an accuracy of 1 μs and provide fault-tolerance against clock failures.
The IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Working Group is working to define deterministic data paths with bounds on latency, loss, and packet delay variation (jitter), and high reliability. DetNet shall operate over both Layer 2 bridged segments and Layer 3 routed segments, relying on interoperability with AVB/TSN switches when possible.
