Get the low down on IEEE 1588 clock synchronisation
Author: John Eidson

The precision time protocol (PTP) defined in IEEE 1588 is designed to synchronise clocks in devices in a distributed system. PTP is a distributed protocol. Every device in the system that implements IEEE 1588 executes exactly the same protocol. This article gives the low down on everything there is to know about IEEE 1588 clock synchronisation.
