Details of the PTPv2 time synchronization protocol implementation

Introduction The concept of building a 'Digital Substation' in the power industry requires synchronization with an accuracy of 1 μs. Financial transactions also require precision in microseconds. In these applications, the accuracy of NTP is no longer sufficient. The PTPv2 synchronization protocol, described by the IEEE 1588v2 standard, enables synchronization accuracy of a few tens of nanoseconds. PTPv2 allows sending synchronization packets over L2 and L3 networks. The main […]
