* 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.

|
* 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.
