+
+- Introduction -
+
+This is the source code for the PTP daemon (PTPd). PTPd implements the
+Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as defined by 'IEEE Std 1588-2002'. PTP
+provides precise time coordination of Ethernet LAN connected computers. It
+was designed primarily for instrumentation and control systems.
+
+
+- Use -
+
+PTPd can coordinate the clocks of a group of LAN connected computers with each
+other. It has been shown to achieve microsecond level coordination, even on
+limited platforms.
+
+The 'ptpd' program can be built from the included source code; see the release
+notes about platform compatibility. To use the program, run 'ptpd' on a group of
+LAN connected computers. Compile with 'PTPD_DBG' defined and run with the '-c'
+argument to watch what's going on.
+
+If you are just looking for software to update the time on your desktop, you
+probably want something that implements the Network Time Protocol. It can
+coordinate computer clocks with an absolute time reference such as UTC.
+
+
+- Legal notice -
+
+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.
+
+PTPd comes with absolutely no warranty.
