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. + -- cgit v1.3.1
