Description
The IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a packet-based synchronization mechanism used in packet-switched networks.
usually a precise, grandmaster clock such as one using a Primary Reference Time Clock (PRTC) time signal.
Features
- System implements ITU-T telecom profiles.
- Composed of IDT’s IEEE 1588 software and IDT’s
Synchronization Management Unit (SMU) hardware.
- Operates as IEEE 1588 / PTP slave.
- Recovers accurate and stable synchronization signals from packet based IEEE 1588 / PTP master.
- Provides integrated physical layer frequency support.
- Operates as an IEEE 1588 / PTP master
Software.
- C99 source code distribution, supporting POSIX-based
Operating Systems (OSs) such as Linux.
