Who turned the clock …? Time synchronisation with PTP

Wer hat an der Uhr gedreht? Zeitsynchronisation mit PTP in DFN-Mitteilungen 104 Page 24

Time synchronisation in networks is important for many applications. This article presents the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and its extension PTPv2 White Rabbit. The later one enables clock synchronisations with precisions in the sub nano second time scale.
