IEEE1588 PTP Server Test Suite Data Sheet

Test Suite: IEEE1588 PTP Server Test Suite

Direction: Server

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a high-precision synchronization protocol used in measurement and control systems. The protocol is defined in IEEE1588 (2002 for PTPv1 and 2008 for PTPv2). This test suite can be used to verify robustness of PTP implementations.
