Description
Summary:The implementation of Precision Time Measurement (PTM) within time aware networking devices will work to achieve the precise time synchronization required for next generation applications. The PTM protocol is currently the only method to transfer the precise timing information from the network interface card to the CPU. This will allow software applications to run under the same strict timing boundaries currently limited to the network layer. Through this study we will demonstrate this accuracy and measure, for the first time, the effect of PTM on a commercial hardware equipment setup.
