Description : Implements the Precision Time protocol (PTP) as
defined by the IEEE 1588 standard.
PTP was developed to provide very precise time coordination of LAN
connected computers.
PTPd is a complete implementation of the IEEE 1588 specification for a
standard (non-boundary) clock. PTPd has been tested with and is known to
work properly with other IEEE 1588 implementations. The source code for
PTPd is freely available under a BSD-style license. Thanks to
contributions from users, PTPd is becoming an increasingly portable,
interoperable, and stable IEEE 1588 implementation.
PTPd can run on most 32-bit little- or big-endian processors. It does
not require an FPU, so it is great for embedded processors. PTPd
currently runs on Linux, uClinux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD. It should also be
easy to port to other platforms.
PTPd is free. Everyone is invited to use and contribute to PTPd.
PTPd was written by using only information contained within 'IEEE Std
1588-2002'. IEEE 1588 may contain patented technology, the use of
which is not under the control of the authors of PTPd. Users of IEEE
1588 may need to obtain a license for the patented technology in the
protocol. Contact the IEEE for licensing information.
