The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a network protocol used to synchronize clocks across devices in a computer network. It is designed to deliver very high accuracy, especially in environments where precise timing is critical. PTP typically operates over Ethernet networks and achieves its best accuracy on well-engineered local area networks (LANs) that support hardware timestamping. On such networks, PTP can synchronize clocks with sub-microsecond accuracy. The PTP timescale is expressed in seconds and nanoseconds, allowing extremely fine-grained time measurement. IEEE 1588 and PTP Usage PTP is defined by the …
