IEEE 1588 Frequency and Time Transfer Measurements and Analysis: Clock, PDV, and Load

Abstract

The IEEE 1588 protocol provides a means of transporting both frequency and time. In order to gain insight into the network conditions under which frequency and time transfer algorithms must perform and to assess the performance of 1588 devices, three types of measurements have proven to be useful: (1) measuring the clock signal at the output, (2) making network timing measurements on the packets, and (3) dynamic characterization of the load. This paper describes these three measurements and explores their relationship.
