Richard Cochran af380e8617 Add the license, a readme, and some header files. 
This commit gets the project off to a good start. The header files provide
some basic data types and definitions.

The README file will most probably grow over time.

Introduction

This software is an implementation of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) according to IEEE standard 1588 for Linux. The dual design goals are to provide a robust implementation of the standard and to use the most relevant and modern Application Programming Interfaces (API) offered by the Linux kernel. Supporting legacy APIs and other platforms is not a goal.

License

The software is copyrighted by the authors and is licensed under the GNU General Public License. See the file, COPYING, for details of the license terms.

Goals and Features

  • Supports hardware and software time stamping via the Linux SO_TIMESTAMPING socket option.
  • Supports the Linux PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) subsystem by using the clock_gettime family of calls, including the new clock_adjtimex system call.
  • Implements Boundary Clock (BC) and Ordinary Clock (OC).
  • Transport over UDP/IPv4, UDP/IPv6, and raw Ethernet (Layer 2).
  • Modular design allowing painless addition of new transports and clock servos.
